Footbridge needed in front of JnU
July 19, 2023 00:00:00
The Jagannath University (JnU) is located in Old Dhaka. Around 20,000 students are currently studying at this university. However, the road in front of the main entrance of the university is towards Sadarghat river terminal. So there is always a crowd of people and vehicles. Buses plying on the road care little about the movements of students. Many buses take U-turn on the road in front of the main gate recklessly. Thus students often have to take risks to cross the road. Some of them were injured in car or rickshaw collisions at different times. The area is densely populated and busy with many trading activities.
So, a foot over-bridge is necessary near the main gate of the university. It will ensure safe road crossing for students and others. Let the authorities concerned pay attention to this problem.
