The busy Kuril Bishwa road area has been an accident hotspot but does not seem to deter people from jaywalking. They ignore their own safety even when a footbridge is only a few feet away. In July last year, a youth was run over by a bus there while the death of two students on the airport road sparked a nationwide road safety protest. But the situation remains unchanged. A woman along with two children hurries across the road to avoid being hit. Photo: Prabir Das
Some others signal to stop oncoming vehicles so that they can safely get on the other side. Photo: Prabir Das
At the same place, two men have a close shave with a bus. The photos were taken near Nikunja-1 yesterday. Photo: Prabir Das
