Smoking in bus
We know that the government has banned smoking in buses, trains etc. But we don't see the effective implementation of laws. Even we see some law enforcing personnel smoking in buses and tempos, because they have some privileges over general people. They capitalise on this. Some days back, I was returning to my workplace from my hometown Chittagong by a bus. The bus was heading towards Laxmipur from Chittagong at 7:30am. We saw 10/15 people smoking simultaneously with the driver himself and also his staff. Smoke engulfed the whole bus. The condition was suffocating for us. I think at that time women and children were suffering badly. I together with some fellow passengers tried to stop them from smoking in the bus but in vain.
The law enforcers should look into the matter.
