After Razib Hossain's tragic death in April this year, many opinion pieces have been published by newspapers urging action to stop road accidents. Over the years, the number of road accidents has increased. More than 7,000 people were killed in accidents last year while 16,000 were injured, according to a report by a passenger welfare platform. I wonder if there is any other country in the world where so many people get killed in road accidents. How long will it take for the government to take some real action to halt this killing spree?
