Islami Andolan Bangladesh Secretary General Maulana Yunus Ahmad has called on the government to take effective measures instead of making rhetorical statements about Eid travel management. In a statement issued to the media on Friday, he expressed concern over deaths and public suffering during the holiday journeys, noting that people’s eagerness to return to their villages often leads to exploitation by dishonest groups who raise fares and create artificial crises.

He criticized the new road transport minister for failing to reduce public suffering during Eid travel, citing fatal accidents and the return of excessive fare collection. The Islami Andolan leader urged the government to identify the real problems and take practical steps to address them.

Yunus Ahmad also warned that while outbound travel from Dhaka occurred gradually due to school holidays, the return journey after Eid would see heavier pressure. He urged authorities to act sincerely and take effective initiatives to manage the expected rush.
