Need for a foot over-bridge in front of BL College

Government Brajalal College, also known as BL College, is one of the oldest institutions for higher education in Bangladesh. Located in Khulna city, the college was founded in 1902 with only a few students. But currently, more than 35,000 students are studying in this hundred-year-old college. There is a railway line just in front of the main gate of the BL College. And almost everyone has to cross this dangerous railway line to enter the college.
This is a risky task. An accident can occur anytime here. As there is no foot over-bridge or underpass in this area, hundreds of people including HSC (higher secondary certificate), honours and masters students risk their lives every day to enter and exit the college.
Recently, a young man, Rubel Hossain, died in front of the BL College after being hit by a speeding train. This incident should be taken seriously, and the authorities concerned must take all effective measures so that the students of BL College do not need to take any kind of risk for entering and exiting the college. Setting up a foot over-bridge or an underpass in this place would hopefully improve the situation.
