The fate of the Cabinet Division proposal for a separate “emergency lane” for VIPs, police, and others hangs in the balance after a frenzy of criticism. On Monday, it was revealed that on December 31, 2017, the Cabinet Division had sent a proposal to the Road Transport and Highways Division (RTHD) to consider introducing a separate “emergency lane” for VIP movement, police vehicles, ambulances, and other emergency services. One Facebook user said: “Best part about having a separate VIP lane is that you clearly know which way to throw your shoes.”Another person on social media said: “If a VIP lane ever happens, then the word itself will turn into a swear word. As a result there is no lateral space for a separate VIP lane. Dr Sarwar Jahan from the Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Buet told the Dhaka Tribune:“The only place with a dedicated VIP lane in the world is in Saudi Arabia.
