State Minister for Road Transport and Highways and Railways Habibur Rashid, MP has said the government is working to bring future Bangladesh under a safe, modern and integrated transport system.
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, after assuming office through the people's mandate in the national election, started working to build a future-ready Bangladesh in line with the 31-point plan announced before the election, he said.
The state minister made the remarks in an exclusive interview with Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha (BSS) at his Secretariat office here today.
The government's main objective is to build a democratic Bangladesh where every citizen will enjoy equal rights and feel themselves the true owners of the country, he said, adding that the government is also working to ensure a conducive environment for establishing freedom of speech, the right to express opinions and other fundamental rights of the people.
He said the prime minister has instructed all ministries to take a 180-day or six-month plan to build the Bangladesh of the future.
Accordingly, various development plans are being implemented in the road transport and railway sectors, he added.
Mentioning that one of the major goals of the government in the road transport sector is to ensure accident-free safe roads, he said corruption and syndicates in the sector will be dismantled and the transport system will be made more accessible to people through decentralization.
At the same time, plans have been taken to create coordination among the three modes of transport - road, rail and waterways.
