Rajshahi district has seen a surge in road accidents, resulting in 160 fatalities over the past year from 169 incidents. Heavy trucks and overloaded dump trucks are major contributors, often operating recklessly on national and regional highways. While these vehicles are heavily implicated, police data also points to motorcycles as a significant factor in the rising accident toll. Experts attribute the increase to violations of traffic laws and excessive speed. The issue centers on accountability and the need to curb dangerous driving practices. Authorities are facing pressure to address the escalating road safety crisis and prevent further loss of life in the region. The daytime operation of heavy trucks is a particular concern.
