Road safety campaigners on Sunday urged major political parties to include a clear commitment to enact a separate and comprehensive Road Safety Law in their election manifestos ahead of the 13th national parliamentary election. The call came at a press conference organised by Road Safety Coalition Bangladesh at Dhaka Reporters Unity. Road safety expert M Khalid Mahmud read out a written statement at the press conference. Although a draft Road Transport and Road Safety Act was finalised in 2016 it was not enacted at the time. The event was moderated by Kazi Borhan Uddin, Road Safety Project Manager at the Centre for Injury Prevention and Research, Bangladesh.
