Hazardous road crossing

Unless you see and practically face it you can't believe and feel how dangerous and risky it is to cross the one way traffic Folder Street, Wari at i) Nari Shikha School/Wari School/Dawn Garments point and at ii) Balda Garden/Rajdhani Market point.

Everyday thousand of school boys and girls, men and women, young and old are crossing the above mentioned two points amidst hundreds of running buses, rickshaws, cars, push carts, CNG scooters and taxis at the great risk of their lives. Every now and then many accidents are taking place, many pedestrians are injured and even killed but the authorities concerned DCC and DMP do not care at all.

The greatest problem and difficulty in crossing the Folder Street, a minor portion of Chittagong-Dhaka one way road from Jatrabari to Gulistan and Motijheel, C/A is that there is no zebra crossing, no traffic signaling, no island on the middle of the one way road for the pedestrians to make a halt. Of course there are 3-4 police sergeants and traffic constables present but most of the time they are standing leisurely and gossiping making little traffic control and rendering little service to the pedestrians.

The residents of old Dhaka , Wari and Ganderia have drawn the attention of DCC and DMP to this effect several times but all in vain.
