NOTHING BUT A KNEE JERK

the Dhaka city traffic department after years of allowing illegal stoppage of buses at the Sonargaon crossing of the capital, suddenly realised yesterday that the practice should be stopped, and deployed contingents of cops to keep the vehicles moving at the spot. Photo: Anisur Rahman
They even wielded their batons. Photo: Anisur Rahman
the problem was the commuters had become used to the practice, as a result tthere was a huge crowd running after moving buses during pre-iftar rush hours to catch one, risking accidents. Photo: Anisur Rahman
Even school kids were put in danger. The question is how much the authorities really thought about a real solution for the commuters before shouting orders? Photo: Anisur Rahman
