A group of 15-20 rickshaw and easy-van drivers has met with Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Sheikh Md Sazzad to discuss and address the ongoing chaos in Dhaka surrounding the ban on battery-run rickshaws and auto-rickshaws.
The drivers under the banner of Rickshaw-Van-Easy Bike Sromik Union, led by its President Abdul Hakim Maiz Bhandari, have been attending the meeting that started around 11:15am at the DMP headquarters in Minto road.
Meanwhile, battery-run rickshaw, vans and easy bike drivers blocked Dhaka's Agargaon intersection demanding the High Court order to stop such vehicles from plying the city streets be withdrawn.
The protest slowed down traffic on both sides of Rokeya Sharani, leading to public sufferings.
