Pedestrians in peril

O.H. Kabir, Wari, Dhaka
Thousands of pedestrians of all ages, young and old, men, women and children, school boys and girls are required to cross the Folder Street, Wari, several times daily to go to various places and return back to their residences amid running vehicles at great risk to their lives. There have been many road accidents, injuries and deaths to pedestrians, but who cares? Now that the much talked about Jatrabari-Gulistan fly over construction has been cancelled, we would once again request the DCC and DMP to set up a zebra crossing and post a traffic policeman at Wari Sher-e-Bangla School point, Folder Street, without further delay and to construct a foot overbridge or underground passage for the safety and security of the pedestrians.
