Heading Home

  • Context

Story:

Around 20 million people are leaving the port city Chittagong to celebrate Eid with their near and dear ones in own home. Bangladesh Railway provided special trains for these outgoing peoples but they couldn’t provide special seat or even seats for these peoples. As like the previous years, the railway provided service is not enough to meet the need of homeward desperate people in this Eid which leads them to travel risking their lives.
