Traffic mess

Recently the government took some steps to remove transports older than 20 years from mega city Dhaka. The end result is, thousands of passengers are seen waiting for their vehicle to move to their respective destinations which doesn't end within less than two hours. Especially, the female job holders are the worst sufferers from the day the transport removal mission started. The owners of various transport companies are staying away from their business for the last few days to avoid such subtraction of their vehicles and waiting for the present government pressure to go off, causing the situation to further deteriorate. From the Daily Prothom Alo, I came to know the grievances of the factory employees, arriving mostly from rural areas, as they are not able to reach their workplaces in time. The issue deserves better handling.
