To Bangladesh Railway

Death is inevitable; no one will live forever. We have to accept it, but untimely deaths due to accidents are very hard to accept. Often we hear about road accidents in which many lives are lost. Most of them happen from sheer negligence. Faulty vehicles and inexperienced drivers are responsible for those. On January 8, 2017 a tragic incident happened at a level crossing in Gazipur, in which two mothers and their three kids died horribly when their car was smashed when it was hit by a train over the unmanned Shonakhali level crossing in Kaliakor. The driver of the car also shared the same fate.

We offer our condolences for the bereaved families. May the departed souls rest in peace.

The question remains why this sort of accidents happens and what is the Bangladesh Railway doing? We want to know why level crossings remain unmanned. We do not want to hear any excuses. The government must take steps so that in the future people will be able to pass level crossings without any mishaps.
