The government on August 20 formed the 18-member committee, headed by Sajjadul Hassan, to monitor implementation of various measures undertaken by the government to ensure road safety.
The committee directed the authorities concerned to bring the persons, who were responsible for the accidents that took place before and after the Eid-ul-Azha across the country, to the book.
It also asked for strengthening the mobile court activities so that the vehicles without route permit cannot ply roads and the traffic rules are maintained properly.
