Traffic on Rampura Road

Unfortunately, we don't have BRTC bus on this road. This creates further shortage of transport resulting in severe problems for the commuters. During the present government's rule, BRTC expanded its service tremendously not only in Dhaka, but throughout Bangladesh. Overall transport management in Dhaka has also improved. We don't understand why then Rampura is ignored causing untold hardship to the people of the locality. I feel sorry when I hear people say that some influential persons are not allowing BRTC service in this route for the interest of their own transport business. I don't know whether it is correct. But people continue to make scathing remarks against the government. I think our local influential political leaders may kindly come forward to solve this problem.

A foot overbridge: Every day thousands of people have to cross road at Rampura Bazar point on foot. It becomes very difficult to cross this road for old men, women, and children because of the fast moving and busy traffic. This is also very risky. Traffic always remains heavy on this road and to make matters worse, most of the vehicular traffic from the districts pass through this road on their way to and from Tongi/Tangail/Mym-enshingh and north Bengal area using Jamuna Bridge. So a foot overbridge is very urgently required in Rampura Bazar area. I request the authorities concerned to look into the matter and take corrective steps.
