Even the top forum of the labor organizations of the country, Bangladesh Road Transport Workers' Provisioning President, Shipping Minister Shajahan Khan also demanded that such law be enacted 'to be acceptable to all' to maintain discipline in the transport sector. In January 2016, the draft of this law was given for the opinion of the Road Transport and Highways Department website. After a few rounds of the meeting with the owner and labor organization, the punishment of various crimes were reduced.
