Bikers protest in Dhaka street, demand withdraw of motorcycle movement policy draft

The bikers in Dhaka formed a human chain on Wednesday in the capital's Manik Mia Avenue and demanded that the draft policy on motorcycle movement be withdrawn due to its flaws.

The bikers stated that they will present a memorandum to the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) chairman on March 5 in order to get their requests met.

They anticipate that he will consider everything and make a swift decision.

A nine-member committee headed by Joint Secretary of Road Transport and Highways Department Anisur Rahman prepared the draft policy. The committee includes representatives of Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA), Bangladesh University of Engineering (BUET), Roads and Highways Department and the Bangladesh Police.

Officials had said the policy is likely to get final approval soon.
