Chief Advisor Professor Muhammad Yunus said that the current interim government is making all-out efforts to ensure safe roads.
He said this in a message given on Monday on the occasion of ‘National Safe Road Day-2024’ tomorrow (October 22).
‘National Safe Road Day 2024’ is being celebrated across the country tomorrow in the new Bangladesh, which was achieved through the sacrifices of students, workers and the public. This year, the theme of the day is – ‘The pledge of students, workers and the public, let there be safe roads for all’.
Muhammad Yunus said, "Challenging the failure of traditional road management, the current interim government is making every effort to ensure safe roads in order to fulfill the expectations of the mass movement of students demanding safe roads that took place in 2018."
He said, if road transport owners and workers can understand the risks that defective motor vehicles, inefficient drivers without driving licenses and illegal vehicles pose to road safety and come out of it, it will be much easier to fulfill the expectations of safe roads.
The Chief Advisor said, it is possible to make the concept of safe roads a reality if the government, private organizations, voluntary organizations, teachers, owners, drivers, pedestrians, guardians, and everyone in society, regardless of party affiliation, come forward with a commitment to build a 'New Bangladesh' by utilizing the unprecedented unity among the young generation and the general public.
In his message, he wished for the overall success of the program undertaken on the occasion of 'National Safe Road Day-2024'.
