BUET student's death

Eng. Md. Mehebub Haque, BUET
A road accident took away the valuable life of a BUET student. He was run over by a bus, on the way to hospital he succumbed to his injuries. It is no new incident in the Dhaka city that reckless driving sometimes snatches away valuable lives and the agitated people vandalise the buses and cars on the road. The drivers don't understand that life is more valuable than time. The authorities concerned should impose strict rules and regulations to control reckless driving. Besides these, the drivers have to be trained to drive the cars following the traffic law to avoid such kind of occurrences. Only enacting law is not enough. I call upon the people from all walks of life to come forward to raise awareness amongst us. Socio-cultural organisations should chalk out colourful programmes highlighting the value of life and avoiding risk while walking on the road.
