The DDAWU leaders alleged in a statement yesterday that Communications Minister Nazmul Huda did not fulfil his promise to supply 15,000 CNG auto-rickshaws to drivers who were affected due to a government ban on two-stroke three-wheelers.

The proposal was aimed at providing bank loans at a low interest rate to the drivers to help them procure and run CNG three-wheelers for a living, it said.

The DDAWU also demanded an end to corruption at Bangladesh Road Transport Authority and implementation of government-fixed Tk 300 daily deposit to CNG auto-rickshaw owners.

The DDAWU would also organise a rally at Muktangon in the city today to press home their demands, it added.

DDAWU President Azizul Haq Mukta and General Secretary M Zakir Hossain signed the statement.
