Dhaka: Nirapad Sarak Chai (NISCHA) founder chairman Ilias Kanchan today laid emphasis on the immediate implementation of the ‘Motor Vehicles Speed Limit Guideline 2024’, which would help reduce road accidents to a large extent. ‘Uncontrolled speed of motor vehicles is mainly responsible for frequent road accidents, increasing the number of casualties in the country. Due to the lack of implementation of the guideline and its enforcement, people are not getting its benefits. So the government should make another guideline for proper enforcement of the speed limit guideline,’ he said.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, Ilias Kanchan made these remarks at a press conference titled ‘4th World Road Safety Conference: Expectations from the Interim Government’ at the National Press Club in the city. NISCHA Vice Chairman Liton Ershad conducted the programme.
BRAC Road Safety Programme Manager Khalid Mahmoud highlighted various aspects of the Marrakesh conference.
