BRTA to issue 4,000 new permits against scrapped auto-rickshaws in Chattogram UNB 9th February, 2021 01:50:44 Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) has decided to issue permits for as many as 4,000 new CNG-run auto-rickshaws in Chattogram once it completes scrapping an equal number of old three-wheeler public transport vehicles that provide last-mile connectivity in the port city. BRTA resumed scrapping 15-year-old CNG-run auto-rickshaws in Chattogram on November 16 last year, after a gap of nearly eight months. The drive remained suspended for most of last year in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak. Till December 31, some 3,619 vehicles were dismantled under the scrapping process, as per figures shared by BRTA.
