DHAKA, Nov 14 (BDReports24) — A middle-aged commuter was seen making a desperate and perilous attempt to board a moving train, clinging precariously to the handrail with only a single foot planted on the narrow step as authorities continue to grple with chronic commuter overcrowding.
The harrowing scene highlights the persistent safety hazards commuters face daily, often risking life and limb just to secure a spot on overstuffed carriages. Despite repeated warnings and safety campaigns by railway authorities, desperate passengers frequently resort to hanging from doors and windows in what has become a grim routine during peak travel hours.
Transport safety advocates have repeatedly called for stricter enforcement of railway regulations and an increase in train frequency to accommodate the surging passenger volume. However, until systemic infrastructure upgrades are fully realized, passengers continue to put themselves in extreme danger every day.
