Actor Niloy Alamgir has strongly criticized social media users and certain transport workers in Dhaka. He slammed those mocking the newly launched pink buses designated for women in the capital.
Dhaka actor Niloy Alamgir has voiced strong criticism against social media users and certain transport workers who have been mocking the newly launched pink buses for women in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The recently introduced pink buses, intended to provide safer and more accessible transportation for female commuters in the capital, quickly became a prominent topic of discussion and widespread trolling across various social media platforms.
As online commentary turned increasingly critical and sarcastic regarding the initiative, Niloy Alamgir decided to use social media to share his official opinion on the matter. The actor publicly condemned the individuals engaging in the online mockery, expressing his clear disapproval of the negative attention directed at the women-only public transport service.
In his social media post addressing the controversy, the actor specifically targeted not only general internet users but also certain transport personnel. Niloy Alamgir stated that some bus drivers and transport assistants actively engage in the trolling of the pink buses, drawing a direct comparison between general social media trolls and that specific class of transport workers.
To articulate his disdain for the behavior exhibited by both the online critics and the transport workers, the actor used a strong descriptive phrase. Niloy Alamgir characterized the mindset behind the mockery as "নিম্নশ্রেণীর, অশিক্ষিত ও নোংরা মনমানসিকতার" reflecting his frustration with the societal attitudes toward women commuting on the newly established dedicated transport routes in Dhaka.
The public reaction from the actor highlights ongoing cultural discussions in Dhaka surrounding public transport initiatives designed specifically for women. While the pink buses were introduced to address safety and transit concerns for female passengers, the backlash from certain segments of the public and transport workers has sparked significant local debate, as demonstrated by Niloy Alamgir's outspoken intervention on social media.
