Motorcycles now banned from launches for 10 Eid days

In the latest move regarding road safety, the government has restricted motorcycles from passenger launches during Eid-ul-Azha.

This comes after the recent ban on the two-wheeled vehicles from highways for a week.

The Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority imposed the restriction to make sure passengers do not face trouble while getting on or off the vessels, Jahangir Alam Khan, public relations officer of the shipping ministry, told UNB Wednesday.
