A dangerously crowded train negotiates the sharp, curving tracks through the bustling Kawran Bazar area in Dhaka. Despite the imminent danger, pedestrians continue to walk along and cross the live railway lines. To make matters worse, dozens of passengers are seen standing on the roof of the moving train, exposing themselves to severe risks of fatal falls and collision hazards.
Walking on railway tracks and riding on train roofs are dangerous, illegal activities that lead to tragic accidents every year. Railway tracks are dedicated corridors for trains, not pedestrian walkways or spectator grounds.
Key Safety Reminders:
Never Walk on Tracks: Avoid taking shortcuts across or along railway lines. Always use designated footbridges or safe crossings.
Stay Off the Roof: Engine hoods, roof tops, and couplers are extremely unsafe places to travel. Stay inside the passenger coaches.
Maintain Distance: Trains cannot stop instantly. Give oncoming trains a wide berth, especially along curved tracks with limited visibility.
Your life is invaluable. Travel responsibly, obey safety warnings, and prioritize your well-being over a risky commute.
