Road accidents

All the TV channels now telecast several programmes to raise awareness regarding AIDS. It is really a positive scheme. A huge number of people of India, our closest neighbour, are badly affected by this disease. In this situation, our TV channels are playing a vital role and deserve thanks from the citizens of the country. It must also be noted that the hazards of AIDS is comparatively less in our country compared to India.
But do we know that in a year we lose three to four thousand people in road accidents? Can't we change the situation? How long will this continue? Are we the people of Bangladesh destined to lead the whole life with the hazards of road accident? Can anyone give me a satisfactory answer?
In my opinion, hazards of road accident are greater than that of AIDS. But why is no step being taken by our TV channels to give the issue due coverage? The media can play a strong role in making the people conscious. Several types of mini-dramas can be telecast to make people aware.
Bangladesh has many challenges ahead. Among them, road accident is the most burning issue.
I think, we have to fight another war. This war will be against road accident. In 1952, the students of our country fought for the mother language. In the same way, the students in 2009 should prepare themselves for a fight against road accidents.
