Four people were killed in three separate road accidents in Chapainawabganj district on Tuesday, according to local police. The incidents occurred in Shibganj, Bholahat, and Gomostapur upazilas at different times of the day. In Shibganj’s Satrajitpur area, 93-year-old Bosed Ali died after being hit by a locally made vehicle while crossing the road. Later, in Bholahat’s Islampur area, eight-year-old schoolboy Hasan Ali was struck and killed by a trolley while returning home from school.

In the afternoon, two motorcyclists, Ashik Ali (25) and Abdullah (30), died on the spot after a truck collision in Rahonpur Tentultala area of Gomostapur upazila. Police from the three upazilas confirmed that the bodies were recovered and legal procedures are underway.

The series of accidents has raised concerns about road safety and the lack of enforcement of traffic regulations in rural areas of Bangladesh, where unregistered vehicles and poor road conditions often contribute to fatalities.
