She revealed these while visiting the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation-NITOR (Cripple Hospital) on Saturday (July 27) morning to see the injured.

Prime Minister said, is it my crime that I have worked to improve people's living standards? And those places should be attacked.

She said Bangladesh of 2008 and Bangladesh of 2024 are not the same today. The standard of lifestyle of the people of the country has improved. How high is our economy today? It seems that it is nothing else, this conspiracy is to make the country a nation of beggars by completely paralyzing the economy. That is the saddest thing.

Sheikh Hasina said, I worked tirelessly day and night and brought the country to a place. Today we see the burning of institutions that serve people.

Asking for the people's cooperation, the Prime Minister said people could reach their workplace in a short time by metro rail. Those stations were burnt and now there are traffic jams, suffering of people. I have eased the suffering. But the people of this country will have to judge those who burned institutions like this and left people in trouble. I want everyone's cooperation.

By questioning who is responsible for the loss of life and property in the recent conflict, Sheikh Hasina said, I have canceled the quota. I urged and said to be patient. The hearing will be decided by the High Court, the judgment given by the High Court. Even after this movement occurred, today so many people's lives have been damaged, and so many families have been destroyed. Whose responsibility is it?

Being emotional, Sheikh Hasina said, wishing for the forgiveness of the souls of those who died in the conflict, I don't want any mother's arms to be empty like this. Because I have lost all my family members, I know the pain of loss.

Prime Minister also said, 'I came back for the sake of the people of this country along with the pain of losing my relatives. I have no demand here. I didn't do anything for my children. But I did it for the people of the country.

The provision of food and clothing for people, medical treatment, their work arrangements. I was doing everything. This riot only happened when we got the title of a developing country.

Stating that the injured are receiving proper treatment, the Prime Minister said, 'We will provide artificial legs to those who have lost their legs and hands.' So that they can walk like normal before, can do their own work.

Regarding the program of the anti-discrimination student movement on various demands, Sheikh Hasina said, 'Complete shutdown' of the quota agitators, and its result is this situation today. The shutdown does not end after all requests are accepted. I have accepted the full demand.

She said, 'If you accept one, then another, if you accept another, then another.' How many people lost their lives today? How many people are getting crippled? In 2001, the BNP-Jamaat alliance also carried out such rampages like this.

Earlier, the Prime Minister spoke to some people who were seriously injured in the recent conflict centered on the quota reform movement and inquired about their treatment. Prime Minister was getting emotional while talking to the injured. She assured all assistance to ensure proper treatment for the injured.

NITOR Director Prof. Dr. Kazi Shamim Uzzaman informed the Prime Minister about the treatment of the injured. At this time, the Prime Minister asked the hospital authorities to take all necessary steps to ensure proper treatment of the injured.

Traffic Congestion in Dhaka / Wasting Around 82,00,000 Working Hours Daily

The traffic congestion in the capital city is wasting around 8.2 million working hours daily. Massive use of private vehicles is responsible for the lack of order on the roads and thus, people cannot enjoy the advantage of rising public transport. Bangladesh Passenger Welfare Association Secretary General Mozammel Haque Chowdhury revealed this at a press conference at Dhaka Reporters Unity on Sunday (October 6) at 11 o'clock. In his written speech, he said, "The citizens of the capital are stuck in a terrible traffic jam because of the lack of respect for the rules and regulations of the passengers. It takes more than 4 to 5 hours to go from one end of the city to another. 8.2 million working hours of working people are wasted every day in Dhaka's traffic jams. BUET's information says that the financial loss in this traffic jam is Tk50,000cr every year. He said, "The capital's public transport system has been broken for ages. Buses and mini-buses operating in the city are discolored with no rear light indicators and front-looking glasses. Can't sit on the seat with two legs apart. The footrests and catch handles are broken, have to stand for long periods. During the hot summer days, the bus is drenched in sweat, and in the rainy season, the bus is still drenched in rain. There is no cleanliness in any buses. Buses are not available at the right time even after enduring the agony of getting on and off the dirty, infested, cockroach-infested buses." Mozammel further said, 'In such a reality, the able-bodied are buying private cars by taking loans. Others have turned to motorcycle ride-sharing, auto-rickshaws, easy bikes, e-bikes, and smaller vehicles like ride-hailing. As a result, 4,00,000 pedal-powered rickshaws, 6,00,000 battery-powered rickshaws and easybikes, 1,34,000 small ride-sharing vehicles, 30,000 CNG-powered auto-rickshaws are moving freely in the city, along with chaotic buses, the traffic congestion and crowding of the city are increasing extremely. On the other hand, the traffic system to control these vehicles is still outdated. After the change of government, 4,000 traffic police in the city are still inactive. In this situation, modern engineering traffic control system needs to be introduced on an urgent basis to reduce traffic congestion." "According to BRTA's information, an average of 800 small vehicles are coming down in the capital every day. According to a JICA survey, 60 percent of the daily average 40 million trip passengers travel in Dhaka metropolis use public transport. 67 percent of these passengers use buses only. However, the quality of passenger service of Dhaka City Bus has been lacking quality for the last 20 years. To reduce the traffic congestion in Dhaka, the bus-minibus system must be fixed first. The registration of small vehicles and the movement of these vehicles on the main roads of the city should be stopped," he further added. Bangladesh Jatri Kalyan Samity has demanded to improve city services in Dhaka city by providing a bus route rationalization system with privileged lanes, removing small vehicles including rickshaws, and easy bikes from the main roads of the city, and scientifically controlling the traffic system.
