Foot over bridge needed
A picture appeared in The Daily Star on Tuesday, Aug 24, which shows some daring women braving the speedy vehicles of the busy road climbing the grilled road divider and crossing the road in a dangerous manner when the foot bridge is just a few yards away. The letter writer (01-09-10) felt very much concerned for such activities and requested others not to cross the road in such a life-threatening manner. But we who are leaving in East Rampura are forced to take such dangerous steps regularly many times in a day as there is no foot over bridge over DIT road at the East Rampura intersection. East Rampura is a thickly populated area where majority are low and middle class people. Kitchen market, other markets, bus stands, mosque etc. are on the other side of the two way DIT road. From dawn till midnight there is continuous flow of vehicles --bumper to bumper- on both sides of the DIT road. Every one leaving in East Rampura has to cross the DIT road endangering his/her life to meet the everyday needs of the life. A foot over bridge is very much essential there. In the last year of the past govt. a foundation stone for a foot over bridge was laid there but with the passage of time it has now vanished. Many accidents occurred there in the past causing even death. Minor accidents have become a regular feature. But the authorities concerned have remained silent.
The authorities concerned have to look into the matter.
