KHULNA, Oct 26, 2025 (BSS) - Khulna Metropolitan Police (KMP) Commissioner Md 
Zulfiqar Ali Haider urged drivers to strictly follow traffic rules to ease 
congestion and ensure safety for all. 

"If we all abide by traffic regulations, it will be possible to reduce the 
city's gridlock significantly," he said as the chief guest in a traffic 
awareness rally at Gallamari area today. 

KMP organised the traffic awareness rally, aiming to prevent road accidents 
and reduce traffic congestion in the city. 

A large number of easybike and CNG drivers, among others, attended the rally.

Addressing easybike, CNG drivers, he added, "Our goal is not to fine you but 
to teach you how to drive responsibly, which lane to use, which side of the 
road to stay on, and when to pick up passengers."

He also warned drivers against being tempted by unusually high fares offered 
by passengers intending to commit theft or other crimes. 

"Your safety means your family's safety," he reminded them.

The KMP boss further mentioned that KMP has already trained about 7,900 
drivers under its traffic education programme.
