Road transport in Bangladesh is very popular for
various reasons, but the condition of Bangladesh roads is very poor. The rate
at road-accidents and fatality [ভয়াবহতা]
in the country is very high. Pressure on roads has been on increase and the
number of vehicles is increasing by leaps and bounds. Overloading is one of the
major factors of road- accidents and deaths. Driving licenses are given on
illegal gratifications [তুষ্টি] of the authorities and
traffic rules and regulations are thrown to the winds. Lack of road-sense has
further complicated [জটিল]
the matters. The condition of the vehicles is hardly found road-worthy.
Drug-abuse and addiction by drivers is another major cause of accidents. The
ever increasing use of mobile phones has posed a new challenge to road-safety. Immediate
and effective steps should be taken to check the ever increasing number of
road-accidents and death. The effects of road accident can be anything from a
dent to death. To prevent [প্রতিরোধ]
these accidents, it is imperative [বাধ্যতামূলক]
that effective long and short term measures are immediately taken. Roads should
be properly maintained and looked after. There should be multi-lane roads
wherever necessary. There should be separate tracks for slow moving vehicles
from those of fast and very fast moving vehicles. There should be an effective
check on speed of the vehicles. Violation [লঙ্ঘন]
of traffic rules should be strictly dealt with. Grant of driving licenses and
permits to vehicles should be properly streamlined. Those driving under the
influence of drugs and alcohol should be given exemplary [দৃষ্টান্ত]
punishment and their licenses cancelled. Thus we can minimize the road
accident.
