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."
