We hope we do things the right way in this nation.
Being a saner society is the job of all and sundry.
We will get there someday.

To be honest, I don't have a problem banning okada, my worry is why crush them, why damage what you cannot produce. This can be converted to local security or sold to villages where mobility and good roads is a big concern or farms or anything.

What will happen to these bikes on a long run now. I pity most of these people cos they had to obtain hard loans to purchase bike, some on outrageous instalment. Clamping down their bikes would plum them into depression and suicides...
