Fulbaria bus terminal to get reclaimed rail lands
The government will recover railway lands from illegal occupants and hand those over to the Fulbaria bus terminal authorities to reduce traffic congestion in Gulistan area, said Railways Minister Mujibul Haque yesterday.
During a visit yesterday to Fulbaria area with Communications Minister Obaidul Quader, Shipping Minister Shahjahan Khan, and State Minister for LGRD and Cooperatives Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Mujibul Haque said legal process would continue to recover the lands from the illegal occupants.
Obaidul Quader said the number of bus terminals in the capital is not sufficient and so the bus owners cannot be reprimanded for illegal parking.
He said five ministries, including communications, would work together to reduce traffic congestion, suffering of passengers and crime ahead of Eid-ul Azha.
The ministers and state minister also visited cattle markets of the capital.
Mentioning that cattle markets on city roads is a cause of traffic congestion, Nanak said the government would take action against those who set up cattle markets on the streets.
On extortion, Shipping Minister Shahjahan Khan said the government would take action against the extortionists.
“We will not only take action against those who extort from cattle-carrying trucks but also against those who extort from passenger buses,” he said.
