BRTA Suspends All Driving Licence Tests

Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) has suspended all driving license tests until March 31 due to the prevailing coronavirus situation.

A circular, signed by BRTA Director (engineering) Lokman Hossain Mollah, was issued in this regard today.

However, other services as the issuance of registration and license for learners will remain as is, Lokman said.

"A huge number of service seekers go for tests before the Driving Competency Test Board (total 68) at district and metropolitan areas regularly, so we have taken the decision to avoid the infection risk," he said.

Asked about other services, he said they are yet to take the decision on it.

However, another BRTA official said the issue of other services would be discussed at their monthly coordination meeting to be held on March 22.
