Rampant recklessness: Passengers risk life and limb as they cling to the locomotive and ride on the roof of a train crossing Malibagh yesterday afternoon. A fruit vendor sitting on the level crossing scrambles away at the last moment, leaving inches for the train to pass. Meanwhile, a man darts across the tracks, ignoring the gateman’s signal. On the adjacent lines, a group of men lounge idly, unlikely to hear another approaching train over the roar of the one already passing. Despite the fatal consequences of train-related accidents, recklessness remains rampant all over the country. Just Friday night, five people were killed after being run over by a train in Tangail’s Kalihati upazila. Photo: Rashed Shumon
