No valid papers, no plying the road from Aug 3 Say transport leaders

Staff Correspondent
Three leading associations of transport owners and workers last night made several decisions to bring discipline in the transport sector, amid growing protest over Sunday's road accident.
These include checking the documents of buses, such as fitness certificates and driving licences, before they leave terminals.
The associations made the decisions at a special meeting attended by four top leaders of the organisations at an office of a transport owner.
They will hold a meeting with the home minister regarding the decisions today and brief the media about it, Khondaker Enayet Ullah, secretary general of Bangladesh Road Transport Owners Association, told The Daily Star last night.
Shipping Minister Shajahan Khan, also the executive president of Bangladesh Road Transport Workers Federation, General Secretary Osman Ali and Faruk Talukdar Sohel, chairman, Bangladesh Bus Truck Owners Association, took part in the meeting.
Osman said representatives of the owners and workers would start checking documents of buses at every terminal in the capital from August 3.
"Without proper documents, no vehicles would be allowed to ply [on the roads] from that date," he told this correspondent over phone.
They will ask the authorities to take action against owners of unfit vehicles and drivers with fake licences, and their associations will help the authorities to do so, he added.
Representatives of the owners and workers associations, along with police, will jointly ensure that no bus runs without a route permit, he said.
They will ask the highway police to regularly check the fitness certificates of the buses, Osman said.
Additionally, awareness programmes on road accidents will start for the drivers and a joint meeting of owners and workers will be held after Eid.
The meeting was held after two students of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College were killed and nine others injured when a bus ploughed into a crowd on the Airport Road in the capital on Sunday.
The responsible bus had no route permit and its driver did not have the necessary papers to drive the bus. The death sparked protests and many students took position on the streets for three consecutive days.
