Poor law enforcement
I am a service holder in a university. All of us know that in between Gulshan-1 & 2 rickshaws can ply in some restricted areas. On 26 April 2006, I was travelling by rickshaw at Gulshan -2 in the afternoon. On that day I went beyond a restricted area as there was no guard (usually guarded by Ansars) thinking that I could ply by rickshaw in that area. Suddenly the on-duty Ansar came and leaked out the air of the wheel of my rickshaw. The rickshaw puller apologised for crossing the restricted area. But he did not give any hearing. At that time I saw some other rickshaws passing that restricted area. I asked that Ansar to do justice to them also. He misbehaved with me. I told him to behave well. He became even more rude. He started shouting at me. I did not find any responsible office nearby to lodge my complaint against him. I tried to convince him that law should be equal to all as some other rickshaws were passing along that road.
I urge both the ruling and opposition parties to enact laws in parliament to make it mandatory to display the ID number of a law enforcer along with their name in the nameplate. So that the bad elements among the law enforcers could easily be traced.
