Normally I do not read road crashes news on the newspaper. But that day finding no readable news I started to read a story on road accident. The story is as usual. The intro said at least six people were killed and 111 others injured in separate road accidents in Savar, Jhalkathi and Netrokona districts.
But the news that came from Jhalkathi said one person was killed and 16 others were injured when a bus plunged into a roadside ditch as its driver, who was talking over mobile phone, lost his control over the steering.
It is a normal accident story. But what struck me is the driver lost his control over the steering when he was talking over phone.
The passengers had to sacrifice their lives for this stupid driver.
I think strict law should be enacted so that they cannot talk over phone while driving and its implementation is necessary. And there should be awareness building programmes for the drivers too.
