Stunning drone footage captured over Tongi Railway Station in Dhaka reveals an unbelievable sight—a train completely overwhelmed with passengers, with every inch of its roof packed with commuters heading home for the Eid holidays.
The vast majority of these passengers are low-income garment and industrial factory workers from Dhaka. Driven by the deep desire to celebrate Eid with their families, thousands take extreme risks by climbing onto train roofs due to severe overcrowding inside coaches and limited transport options.
While the emotional drive to reach loved ones is understandable, roof-riding presents deadly hazards—from high-voltage overhead lines and bridge structures to sudden speed changes.
In this special awareness documentation by RRBD, we capture the stark, aerial reality of Bangladesh's holiday commute, reminding everyone that no holiday or celebration is worth risking a life.
⚠️ A Safety Message from RRBD:
Keep off the train roof! Roof-riding is extremely dangerous and illegal.
Your safety matters most to your family awaiting your return.
Choose safety over risk and travel responsibly.
