“The women wearing the uniform would soon be seen driving the post office vehicles,” the state minister for post and telecommunications said at an International Women's Day programme in Dhaka on Saturday. "I think women are careful as drivers and cause fewer accidents," she said. "That's why women will be appointed as drivers for 20 percent of the vehicles we are procuring," she added. Energis sponsored the discussion titled 'Her Story' at Midas Center in Dhanmondi to highlight women's diverse participation in Bangladesh's development. It will continue from 9am to 8pm until Mar 30.
