Battery powered rickshaw pullers protest to municipality.Owners and drivers demanded the movement and movement of batteries operated rickshaw in Chandpur. Hundreds of drivers and garage owners staged a protest at the municipality on Tuesday morning, January 21. During the meeting, the mayor of Chandpur municipality and district Awami League president Alhaz Nayasir Uddin Ahmed spoke to them and informed about the decision in the presence of all the palace demands regarding the battery-powered rickshaw movement.
In front of rickshaw guerrillas, Yusuf Khalifa, Suman Mostan, Rafiqul Islam, many others say that many disabled and physically impaired poor people carry battery-powered rickshaws. I borrowed a lot of money and put a battery in the rickshaw. But the municipal authorities are breaking them down. Even getting into the garage, the batteries are breaking down. We want the municipality to be the backbone of our battery-powered rickshaw.
In this regard, Mofiz Uddin Howlader, administrative officer of the municipality, said that the mayor of the municipality, Gyaraj, has informed the Malikis that battery operated rickshaw pulpuri is illegal. It won’t go down the road. This auto-rickshaw will also be sold off at Hessebe, even if it is in Gyaraj. The vehicle was instructed to shut down for the last 1 years. It has also demanded that the vehicle be stopped at various malls.
Meanwhile, sources in the municipality also reported that at a meeting of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources of the last 2018, the Prime Minister’s Energy Advisor Dr. A letter signed by Taufiq Elahi has been directed at this. It is mentioned that battery-powered rickshaws go one accident. The environment friendly battery-powered Easy Bike is on instead of this.
Relatively, many passengers have already been hit by the accident on the battery rickshaw. Drivers cannot control one. Therefore, there has been a strong demand from the concerned municipality to stop the vehicle.
