After every incident of road crash that sparks protests among the public, the BRTA, police,
and other transport authorities become hyper-active in giving statements and making pledges.
But unfortunately, they seem to forget all their pledges very quickly. That is why, the
procession of deaths on the roads never stops. After Abrar Ahmed Chowdhury was killed,
numerous accidents took place in the capital and all across the country. Just last Friday, 16
people were killed in road crashes. On the same day, an MP's car was hit by a speeding bus in
the capital. The bus was running without a fitness certificate and the driver didn't have a valid
driving license. The bus that killed Abrar also didn't have a fitness certificate.
Is the state for law-abiding general people or for those who are powerful and therefore can
violate the rules? Has anybody been taken to task for committing crimes as gruesome as
killing people on the roads? Will it be ensured that the vehicles that run without fitness
certificates be taken off the roads? We want to see tangible steps taken by the authorities to
punish those responsible for these deaths and to bring some order on our roads.
