A chilling yet everyday reality from the heart of Dhaka.
At the busy Karwan Bazar railgate, one of the capital's largest wholesale fish markets operates right on a sharp, curved railway track. In this chaotic rush of buyers and sellers, an overcrowded train approaches, packed to the brim with passengers riding dangerously on the roof.
Within seconds, the bustling market clears out, only to gather right back on the tracks the moment the train passes. This extreme everyday scene highlights a severe threat to public safety. Railway tracks are built for trains, not for marketplaces, and train engines or roofs are strictly for authorized crew—not passengers.
Riding on train roofs and setting up shops on active tracks can lead to fatal accidents in a split second. Let's practice caution, respect public safety laws, and value our lives.
Stay safe, stay off the tracks!
