Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Road, Transport and Bridges Ministry has urged the ministry to strengthen its monitoring so that CNG drivers cannot charge extra fare.
Ekabbar Hossain, chairman of the committee, said this in the parliament yesterday.
“After fixing the new fare of CNG auto-rickshaw, the drivers followed the meter a few days but now they are not doing so causing passengers’ sufferings. That’s why, the committee recommended that the ministry should take stern action in this regard,” said Ekabbar.
He also said owners of CNG auto-rickshaws also charge drivers additional deposit money. So, the owners should also come under strict surveillance.
The committee also recommended that the committee representatives should visit the projects of the ministry.
The ministry will let the committee members inform about the update information of Padma Bridge construction through SMS regularly, the committee also recommended.
Obaidul Quader, AKM Awal, Rezwan Ahmed Toufiq, Nuruzzaman Ahmed, Foizur Rahman, Nazmul Huq Prodhan, Monirul Islam and Lutfunnnesa participated in the meeting.
