Illegal electric rickshaws
Electric rickshaw is a rickshaw with a rechargeable battery, extra chain and gear. This is another great creation of Bangladeshi brain after nosimon, korimon, votvotiya, etc. You can find many of these types of rickshaws all over the country. Most of the rickshaw-pullers are ignorant of controlling the these rickshaws. As a consequence, rickshaw accidents occur frequently and many of us have broken our hands or legs by these accidents. But nobody is there to look after it! The batteries need to be charged the whole night and the rickshaw-pullers charge their batteries from illegal connections. Who is there to look after this? It is high time the authorities took steps to stop these illegal rickshaws from plying our city streets. The government need to ban these electric rickshaws.
