Returning home safely!

Stepping out of home for everyday work or education and getting back safely should be a common affair. But for Dhaka city dwellers, it is not a blessing as there is no security in this city. While crossing the road, a reckless driver can hit you. While getting on or off a bus, another speeding vehicle from behind can knock you down. Heavy things like concrete girder can fall on you from the top of a building or a construction site. While walking on an alley, muggers can snatch away your belongings. All this is happening to us in this city. And it is becoming an everyday phenomenon.

So, what we want now is to return home safely back to our family whenever we step out of our home.
