Tragic road accident

It is a matter of shock and sorrow that thousands of people get killed in deadly road accidents and many others get maimed and disabled every year. On 28th August, a student of Dhaka University was crushed under the wheels of a bus at Shahbag intersection. The dream of his family was also crushed with his premature death. In protest, the agitated students came out on the streets and vandalised vehicles and whatever they saw before them, causing panic among the unsuspecting commuters. Why are these terrible road accidents occurring so frequently and why do the government keep silent as if nothing is happening? We can not tolerate any more loss of life; we don't want to see any more road accident. We urge the authorities concerned to take immediate steps to stop road accidents.
