Careless walking along rail tracks!

Many people are killed and injured while walking along the railway crossings and rail tracks in different places including Dhaka city. Certain restrictions are maintained for movement of trains but there are people who hardly follow safety rules. Some people walk through the railway tracks absent-mindedly.

A new dimension has also been added to this problem. Some people walk on the railway track while talking on their mobile phones. Accidents of other kinds have already been reported for such recklessness. So, time has come to make people aware of road safety. Authorities concerned should take necessary steps to improve the situation.
