The government has decided not to allow import of battery-run three-wheelers.
The decision was taken at an inter-ministerial meeting on battery-run three-wheeler and other unlicensed vehicles at the communications ministry yesterday.
Communications Minister Syed Abul Hossain said the municipalities would not renew the registration of the existing battery-run vehicles and those should have to be banned within a certain period. The timeframe will be fixed later on.
Permission will not be given for further local production of those vehicles while the existing 2.50 lakh vehicles will not be allowed to ply on the highways.
Besides, the meeting decided that locally-made vehicles like Nasimon, Karimon and Bhatbati would not also be allowed to ply on the highways.
