Only QR-coded rickshaws to run in Dhaka: Mayor Atiq

A total of 28,000 rickshaw licenses were provided in Dhaka city, but now there are more than 10 lakh rickshaws on the streets. They are not registered in any database and they are not in discipline

Dhaka city authorities have resumed providing licences for non-motorised rickshaws, which remained suspended since 1986. The resumption has drawn criticism from urban experts who have called it legalising transport chaos only for revenue. The photo was taken from the capital’s New Market area recently.

Rickshaws stay stuck at the Science Laboratory area as the number of rented rickshaws grow in the capital. Riddled with hardship after having suffered pandemic-induced job losses, many people are coming to the city and finding no other option rather than pulling rickshaws. The photo was taken on Friday.
