The rule asked why the government should not be ordered to ensure the installation of fire safety equipment in accordance with section 60 (3) of the Motor Vehicles Ordinance, 1983 and the circular issued by the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority on Mar 2, 2017.
It also asked why the government should not be directed to take the necessary steps to protect the lives of citizens from fires on public transport under Art 31 of the Constitution.
