It is now a common notion among city dwellers that these uncomfortable and inconvenient red and green coloured busses are plying the city roads violating all traffic rules and remaining above the law.

But, some courageous Farmgate traffic policemen were seen taking the bold move to clamp down a BRTC bus on the Farmgate-Indira Road this morning near Tejgaon College as its driver failed to show valid documents to the traffic sergeant.
