The New Nation - Internet Edition

The Jatrabari-Fulbaria Road is one of the busiest thoroughfare in the city. It has almost an unending traffic flow throught the day. This road is more crowdy at Rajdhani-Baldha Garden crossing. Tousands of people - old, young, children (including school-going ones), men, women from Wari-Narinda area - have to cross the road at this point. The motor transport density is so high at this point that the road users have to wait too long to cross it on foot with high risks.

The drivers are hardly careful in moving through this point; they rather drive hastily even at this crowded point. That is why incidents of accidents (sometimes causing fatality) are not infrequent at this crossing.

This problem of the padestrians could easily be addressed by constructing a foot over-bridge at this intersection.

We hope, DCC shall seriously consider our proposal.
