Information and Broadcasting adviser Md Nahid Islam said on Saturday that institutional management and structural reforms are needed to restore order in transport sector.
"Corruption in the country`s road transport sector remains a pressing concern, with its dynamics changing but not diminishing."
The adviser made this remark while speaking at a national dialogue held at the Bangladesh Press Institute on Saturday.
"There is a political influence intertwined with the chaos on the roads. So, resolving the issue will not be easy."
The adviser said that political parties must play a proactive role in curbing corruption, as many of the issues involve their workers and leaders.
He also criticised previous administrations for their failure to deliver public-focused development. "Development under previous governments was not centred on the people. As a result, the public did not benefit. Future policies must prioritise inclusive development that addresses the needs of the general population."
