The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has announced a special operation to remove economically expired, risky, and unapproved vehicles from the capital’s roads. The initiative, declared on May 6 through a public notice signed by DMP Commissioner Md. Sarwar Alam, aims to reduce public suffering and road accident risks caused by unfit vehicles that often break down on roads, highways, and bridges, creating severe traffic congestion.
According to the DMP, the operation will target all vehicles that have exceeded their economic life, lack registration numbers, or operate without proper authorization. Government policy sets the economic life of buses and minibuses at 20 years, and trucks, covered vans, and other freight vehicles at 25 years. Vehicles exceeding these limits are prohibited from operating on the roads.
The DMP stated that owners and drivers of such vehicles will face legal action, including fines, vehicle dumping, and other penalties. The drive will be conducted jointly by metropolitan magistrates and traffic police, with authorities seeking cooperation from vehicle owners, transport workers, drivers, and the general public.
