RUSH IN TRAINS

It needs no telling that Bangladesh is an over populated country. In comparison with the population the number of trains very small, So rush in trains is a quite familiar scene in Bangladesh. All the trains are overcrowded, As soon as a train comes in the platform, the passengers start a struggle to get into the train so that they can reach their destinations by availing the train. The passengers rush, run and jump into the compartments through doors and windows. The compartments become jampacked with passengers and loads. Sometimes the rush becomes so heavy that a large number of passengers do not find any seat in the benches. Often they find no space to stand. So they get upon the roof of the train at the risk of their own lives. As women can not sit on the roof, they sit on the buffers. They do so under compulsion to reach their destination. The Rail Way Board should take proper measures to increase the number of train and put an end of the sufferings of the passengers.
