Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami has expressed deep concern over severe travel disruptions, excessive fare collection, and overall mismanagement during Eid-ul-Fitr journeys across the country. In a statement issued to the media on Thursday, Advocate Ehsanul Mahbub Zubair, Assistant Secretary General and head of the party’s Central Publicity and Media Department, highlighted the suffering of homebound passengers facing traffic congestion, ticket shortages, irregularities, and fare exploitation on roads, railways, and waterways.

Zubair stated that unscrupulous transport operators were taking advantage of the situation by charging passengers unfairly high fares, calling such practices inhumane and unethical. He urged relevant ministries, law enforcement agencies, and transport owners and workers to take coordinated action to ensure safe, comfortable, and affordable travel for all passengers. The statement also called for strict monitoring to prevent overcharging, ticket black marketing, and passenger harassment.

Jamaat expressed hope that all concerned authorities would act responsibly to reduce public suffering and enable travelers to reach their families safely during the Eid holidays.
