     HOW SAFE  PEDESTRIANS ARE WHILE WALKING ON THE ROAD !
Mishap, accident, roadcrash, whatsoever you call it is not the point of debate now. What is happening, only happening in our real life is the grim picture of tears & agony we are watching every moment. Do you think, do you believe we are safe & secure from any wanted danger, any unwanted death ? Can you say you will return home safe & sound to join your near & dear ones after coming on to the street? May be, the answer is ‘No’. In fact, we do not know whether we will reach home because our style of living is full of risk & danger. This danger may come from road accident, from under construction building, or from any corner of which reason is known to us. But we are dying, dying of diseases, of ill health, of malnutrition, by pollution or, by accident. How can we get rid of it? We do not know. We are struggling to survive. We are living with worries & anxieties. But we need safety, safety to our life & property. We need safe road, safe road management to avoid traffic conjestion and to avoid road accident which has become a death trap to passengers in our country.
Effective road management can safeguard our life while walking on the road. Too many road accidents  occur due to carelessness of the reckless drivers. Unfit vehicles plying the roads & highways are a major threat to our life on the street. We are constantly in fear.  In the 21st century of ICT & globalization, we can not allow any mismanagement. Effective use of technology in the roads & highways can minimize the number of accidents. Close circuit camera at  strategic traffic points, proper traffic signals, close monitoring over the incidents related to negligence to traffic rules, expansion of roads & highways & their repair & proper maintenance, valid traffic license, proper training to the drivers can to a substantial degree reduce the number of accidents in the country. Road accidents take heavy tolls of precious human lives. It is the name of tears & agony.
At the grass root level awareness should be raised among the common mass about traffic rules & regulations. Traffic rule violation should be duly punished. Delivering valid license should be ensured for safe & secure journey. Narrow roads & high ways should be expanded.   There can be computerized monitoring over the traffic control at the strategic points. We want to see no more death. We want safe road & safe life. A death can finish everything. It can nip in the buds all hopes & aspirations of a family if the bread winner dies in a premature death. In our country many precious lives have been snatched away by road accident. In Mirer Sarai, Sitakundu, a single road accident snatched away many tender lives. Every day we hear the news of road accident in some place or other in the country. It has become a household matter in our everyday life.
 We want a full stop to this demon. We want to travel on a safe route from one corner to another in the country. The mode of communication should be more speedy & hassle free. The socio economic activities of the country are closely connected with the road transport communication. So we appeal to the concerned authorities to take the matter into consideration.
