A mobile court conducted an anti-encroachment and consumer rights enforcement drive in Eidgaon upazila of Cox's Bazar on Wednesday, imposing fines totaling Tk 40,000 on a transport driver and several local business owners.
Eidgaon UNO Mongchingnu Marma led the mobile court operation, targeting illegal street parking, sidewalk encroachments, and consumer law violations across commercial zones.
During the drive at the Eidgaon Union Bus Station, the mobile court fined Md. Selim, a driver for Eidgaon Line, Tk 5,000 under the Road Transport Act, 2018, for illegal bus parking.
Additionally, shopkeeper Ridwan Parvez was penalized Tk 10,000 under the Consumer Rights Protection Act, 2009, for failing to display a mandatory price list in his store.
The magistrate also fined three traders—Jashim Uddin (Tk 5,000), Chhoton Miah (Tk 10,000), and Pritom Paul (Tk 10,000)—a combined Tk 25,000 for illegally occupying footpaths for business operations. The court collected the entire Tk 40,000 in fines on the spot.
A team of Ansar members and Village Police personnel from Eidgaon Union Parishad assisted in the operation. Upazila administrative officials announced that similar enforcement drives will continue to ease traffic congestion, protect consumer interests, and keep public footpaths clear.
