Highway police crackdown on vehicles



Dhaka, Jan 04 - Highway police have seized four buses and a motorbike for lacking valid documents and filed cases against 50 vehicles during an overnight drive on the Mawa Expressway.

The drive, conducted from midnight Friday to 4 am Saturday, was led by Additional Deputy Inspector General of Highway Police, AKM Akteruzzaman Basunia, and included patrol teams of Highway Police, three from Munshiganj Police, and one from Rab-10.

The vehicles were seized at Dhaleshwari Toll Plaza, with passengers of the buses being provided alternative transport to Dhaka, according to DIG Basunia.

The operation was prompted by a series of fatal accidents on the expressway in recent days, including one on December 27, which claimed six lives and left four others injured at Dhaleshwari Toll Plaza.

Authorities say the crackdown aims to ensure safety and prevent further tragedies on the busy expressway.-UNB
