Rizvi made the remarks on Thursday after laying wreaths at the graves of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman and former Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia at Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, accompanied by newly elected leaders and activists of the Bangladesh Road Transport Workers' Federation.
He expressed the hope that this organization, under its new leadership of road transport workers, will remain vigilant in eliminating the anarchy, disorder, and illegal practices on the roads that have persisted for a long time.
The BNP leader said that the newly elected leaders of the organisation coming from a background in student politics, will apply their new thinking and ideas to resolve the stalemate in the road transport sector bring management into compliance with the law, and make exemplary contributions to passenger services.
The new leadership of this organization will put an end to the long-standing “mafia” culture in the road sector, he hoped.
Under the leadership of this newly elected committee, it will be possible to provide the people of the country with a new management system, moving away from the deteriorated and deplorable condition that has developed in the road transport sector, Rizvi said
This will increase people's trust, give them a sense of security, and provide safety and comfort in their travels, he added.
