Free the footpaths for pedestrians
As I got off the bus at Shewrapara bus stand, my mind was set not to break the traffic rule, but being pushed aside by the people, I was compelled to walk along the main road instead of the footpath. The whole footpath was occupied by the hawkers, fruit sellers and customers. As I was walking, I felt the blast of air from the high speed transports rushing by me. I was lucky this time, but this is one of the major reasons of road accidents that leave many kids, students, men and women dead every year. The government must take immediate action focusing on this issue. It should also give the street vendors a place with all possible facilities and free the narrow footpaths of the city.
