Appeal not to call drivers 'killer'
Transport workers yesterday reiterated their appeal to the people as well as members of the civil society and media not to call the drivers "killer" if any accident occurs.
They said drivers are not solely responsible for the accident as it can occur for various reasons like faulty design of roads, shops and markets on highways and movement of animals on roads. So people should not call the drivers "killer", they added.
They were speaking at a rally organised by Bangladesh Sarak Paribahan Sramik Federation in front of the Jatiya Press Club.
Federation General Secretary Osman Ali Khan said drivers serve the country and countrymen as they transport goods and carry passengers. The leaders said the federation will hold a grand rally at Central Shaheed Minar on October 23 to press home their demands.
