Urge people to use over-bridge
I really don't understand why people do not use the foot bridge. Is time more valuable than life? Well it may be annoying to use the foot bridge when we are running out of time. But we should think about our safety first; life is more precious than time. Every time I cross a road, I use the nearby foot bridge. Tragic road accidents are taking place regularly due to jaywalking. In recent years, many people including schoolchildren were crushed to death for not using the over-bridge. As a conscious citizen, I am very worried. People urge the government to build over-bridges, but surprisingly, they don't use it!
The government should take immediate steps to stop jaywalking. There should be more traffic police on the busy roads so that they can keep track of the jaywalkers. People should be forced to use over-bridges.
There are also other reasons why people don't use over-bridges: dirty atmosphere, hawkers and beggars occupy maximum space of the over-bridges. I think over-bridges should be clean and free from all hawkers and beggars. At last, I would urge The Daily Star --the leading English daily-- to hold a campaign across the country to educate people about the benefits of using over-bridge.
