Dhaka, March 8 -- A total of 596 road accidents were recorded across Bangladesh in February this year, resulting in 578 deaths - both numbers only slightly down on the corresponding numbers for January, when 608 deaths occurred in 621 accidents. In fact the difference is so small that it can be almost fully attributed to February being a shorter month by three days.
