Allow rickshaws

I strongly support the move to remove road restrictions on pedal rickshaw in metro Dhaka (NGO seminar, reported in DS 9/2).

As a double-retired resident, sold my BMW car (can't drive in Dhaka), and use rickshaws for shorter trips. I can't use bus (hassle); and CNG auto rickshaws show disdain for the fare meter (what a show by the ministry!). Limit the number of rickshaws, but no road restrictions.

Do not lick the boots of the newly rich (1% of population). Where are the middle-class politicians?

Make it an election issue.
