While most people in our country are law abiding citizens, the callousness of some influences others to follow suit, creating a chaotic situation. I am referring to the breach of traffic rules by some bikers. Many of them drive over the footpaths in order to avoid traffic, which not only crowds the walkways but also panics pedestrians and causes accidents. This in turn prevents pedestrians from using the walkways. 

The number of bikes driven around Dhaka city is increasing by the day, and these breaches of law often occur in front of the traffic police. We appeal to the city authorities to take punitive action against such law-flouting bikers and ensure safety for pedestrians on footpaths.
