Road Transport, Bridges and Shipping Minister Sheikh Robiul Alam has issued directives to ensure safe, smooth and comfortable Eid-ul-Fitr travel for people across Bangladesh, including the southwestern region. He made the announcement on Friday during an inspection of the Padma Bridge and its toll booths, noting that the Prime Minister has instructed authorities to make road travel safe and hassle-free for the public.
According to the minister’s guidance, officials have been asked to implement a 45-day coordinated program starting from the beginning of Ramadan until 15 days after Eid. The plan includes keeping all toll lanes and electronic toll collection systems operational, deploying sufficient manpower, and maintaining discipline and efficiency in toll collection. Emergency services such as wreckers and fire vehicles are to remain on standby, with strengthened fire safety and continuous monitoring.
The minister also emphasized close coordination among local administrations, highway police, fire service, and civil defense agencies. During his visit to the Mawa end of the bridge, officials welcomed him and noted that the introduction of bus bays would further improve passenger management and reduce congestion.
