Raising tally of deaths on streets, How much longer will roads remain unsafe?
The roads in Bangladesh are becoming increasingly perilous day by day. Reckless drivers, defective vehicles, and incompetent transportation authorities are making the roads more dangerous. Uncontrolled trucks are swarming toll plazas, overshadowing smaller vehicles. In a reckless competition, buses invade the capital through the newly constructed terminal of the third airport. Major highways are filled with large potholes, causing passenger buses to tumble and crash within moments of losing control. According to the transportation authority, nearly 600,000 defective vehicles are operating on roads and highways across the country. Even heavy trucks weighing 5 tons and buses with 60 seats are entrusted to inexperienced teenage drivers. The entire transportation sector of the country has been plagued by extreme lawlessness and chaos year after year.
