Footbridge photo
The lead photo of The Daily Star's October 21 issue on the hole in Jatrabari metallic footbridge was a very catchy one. Sincerely speaking, from the first bird's eye view to the picture I apprehended that it was some toy-car near the feet of some minors, then I quickly discovered that it's a death hole for any bridge user.
The area and shape of the hole indicate that it didn't come into being in a few days. Now, will the Dhaka City Corporation discover something from the snap? The hole does not only need to be plugged properly, but also it has to be investigated why and how the hole was created in the thick sheet of metal.
I thank the DS for bringing the matter into public glare.
