Yunus government finally accepted the mistake, took responsibility for 7,294 deaths, if anyone now…

New Delhi: The interim government of Bangladesh, which is surrounded by controversies under the leadership of Muhammad Yunus, has accepted its big mistake and taken responsibility for it. Muhammad Faujul Kabir Khan, advisor to the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges, said on 11 January 2025 that the interim government had failed to reduce road accidents and deaths last year and accepted responsibility for it. According to a report, he made this statement after two meetings at the headquarters of Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA). Khan said the ministry is planning to take several steps soon to curb road accidents and deaths.

12 percent more than last year

7,294 people died and more than 12,000 were injured in road accidents in Bangladesh last year, a 12 percent increase from the previous year. Admitting this, Khan said, “We are taking responsibility for this situation. We recognize that we have not been successful in reducing road accidents and deaths, rather their number has increased.” Apart from this, he also informed that the Road Safety Foundation presented these figures to him recently. Khan also said that the injured will be compensated for their treatment and it has been decided that compensation will be provided as soon as possible under the relevant law.

BRTA officials will take responsibility

He made it clear that if any accident occurs due to the fitness of the vehicles or the license of the driver, BRTA officials will be directly responsible for it. Apart from this, other agencies including the Roads and Highways Department will also shoulder their responsibility if accidents occur due to lapse or negligence in their duties. More than four and a half lakh driving license applications are pending with BRTA and it is expected that all these applications will be resolved by March. Read Also: Islam has no place in China!
