The mega city Dhaka is suffocated with its densely populated dwellers where 23,234 people live in per square kilometer according to a last report of 2016. I believe this number is much more according to my assumption. On the occasion of Eid festival, Dhaka city have started reducing its load every day while people have started to leave the city for their native village.
Except permanent resident of Dhaka city, everyone is packing their luggages to go to village to meet with near and dear ones. Sometimes this happiness fade away with some accidents due to over passenger carried by bus and ship owners provided in below picture.
This is a common scenario of every year. Number of accidents happen during this Eid season. Safety is an act which is totally avoided by both drivers and passengers and end up with disaster.
Awareness should be made to avoid the unwanted act.
—Sufficient transports should be arranged for the passengers.
— Traffic rules should be obeyed and respected by both drivers and passengers.
— Speed limit should be maintained while driving
— Don’t jump into overloaded transport.
— Don’t disturb drivers while driving
— Need to review vehicle fitness before start
— Avoid being a passenger of rooftop of any transport
— Don’t rush and to be the first to go, keep patience
— Send family members earlier which will result less load at the last moment
Above are some acts which came to my mind. You can think about your own safety. Think twice before boarding as over passenger as someone is waiting for you at home. One incident can cause huge losses to you and your family members.
Eid festival is very near to us. Everyone is getting prepared for that. Last moment Shopping of each family members are taking place with festive environment. Businessmen are also happy with their selling. Let’s not allow this happiness to turn into nightmares due to some horrible accidents caused by our unsafe acts.
Advance Eid Mubarak to all.
Thanks for reading.
No one is seemingly interested in safety. We are illuded by many less important things in life. Desperation or ignorance? Time will say.
Correctly said that time will say. But in the meantime lots of life are expiring every day due to ignorance. Thanks for your input.
Is only the time is responsible for this? Nothing to do of any one? @doctalk
There is no time to think about safety. What will be happened in next few seconds, nobody think this. We are floating ourselves in nonsense activities. Thanks for sharing a excellent timely article.
Rightly said that safety is less priority to us which causes serious damages sometimes. Thanks for your comments.
How will they be able to think? There is no management of proper vehicles. What can they do? @iftekhar
Somedays ago one of my friends who work with social organizations, called and asked if I may interested in taking part in an event like raising awareness to avoid road accidents specially during this rush hour of countries festive season. They planned to miking & posturing about it in different points near near Dhaka city main road.
I was very delighted listening their plans.
If we try from our side & this type of small steps if taken then many unnecessary road accidents can be avoided Innshallah.
Advance Eid mubarak to you also. @dindar May this eid brings joy, happiness and prosperity.
Yes, we all should participate to improve the situation. Awareness can reduce risk definitely. Thanks for your input.
wow so many people they should start to build more housing slightly on the outskirts of the city then some people can move out from the overpopulated sections.
Eid mubarak to you too. We have a discord named STEEM TUNER Where we are trying to help Bangladeshi steemians. You can join and be a important member for us.
Joined. Thanks.
What can be done. The holidays schedule is only for 4 days. The people needs to go home to enjoy the Eid with family. I think there needs a lot of trains, steamers, buses in the time of Eid. So that every one can go home with safety.
I wish your voice could reach to the authorities. Correctly said unavailability of vehicles are one of the reasons of this problem.

Thanks for sharing your feelings.
People get rid of all the hazards when they come back home from the pulse. It is not possible to prevent it by trying hard. People forget about the danger.
Thanks for your input.
It has now become the main duty and culture for the authorities concerned to take the passenger general hostage in the name of Eid festival to hundreds of sufferings. The harassment of the passengers every year, the cruelty to the passengers, and the sufferings of passengers, such as their main task. It's urgent to end soon.
