Welcome DMP drive against jaywalking

The recent initiative taken by Dhaka Metropolitan Police against jaywalking has encouraged many pedestrians to use footbridges. Jaywalking is dangerous and absolutely unsafe. If people use footbridges, underpasses and zebra-crossings to cross the road, it could reduce road accidents to a great extent. At the same time, the sorry states of the pavements and footbridges should be improved. The authorities concerned should take effective steps for that.
