Students demand action for safer roads

Call for National Safe Road Day

In a significant push for road safety in Bangladesh, the Safe Road Movement has called for the swift implementation of a nine-point agenda aimed at establishing safer road conditions for all, particularly for students. 

They also demand that July 29, the date marking the beginning of the historic Safe Road Movement in 2018, be recognized as "National Safe Road Day."

This rallying cry was made during a gathering in front of the Press Club on Friday, where prominent figures from the movement were in attendance, including acting convener Abdullah Mehedi Dipto, general secretary Al Amin, joint general secretary Tanveer Howlader, and central committee executive member Naim Al Islam. 

The agenda emphasizes the urgent need for thorough investigations and swift justice for all road fatalities, especially those involving students. 

The movement calls for a fast-track tribunal to ensure accountability for those responsible for accidents, insisting that they provide adequate compensation to the victims' families.

In addition to addressing accountability, the Safe Roads Movement advocates for a reassessment of public transport fares and the issuance of a directive to guarantee unconditional half-fare for students across all forms of public transport nationwide.    —UNB
