๐ฌ A train ๐ pulls into Dhaka Airport Railway Station in Bangladesh ๐ง๐ฉ. The coaches are packed with passengers ๐ฅ, and some can be seen standing at the open doors, hanging on as the train rolls in. Even more striking is the roof: a large crowd of people is sitting and riding on top of the train โฌ๏ธ, and many of them are standing upright, with nothing to hold onto and no protection at all ๐จ.
โ๏ธ In Bangladesh, riding on a train roof is a punishable offence ๐ซ, yet enforcement is very limited and the practice continues. It is extremely dangerous โ ๏ธ. Overhead electric lines โก, low structures, sudden jolts, sharp turns and slippery surfaces can cause fatal falls, electrocution and crush injuries ๐. Standing at train doors is just as risky, as one slip or one sudden jolt can be fatal ๐ชโ ๏ธ.
๐ฅ This awareness video highlights the real risks of roof travel and door-hanging, and urges every passenger to travel safely inside the coaches โ . Your life is worth more than a few saved minutes ๐.
