Ahead of the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha, Dhaka Ahsania Mission’s Health Sector Road Safety Project Coordinator Sharmin Rahman has recommended banning unfit vehicles and controlling speed on highways to ensure safe and smooth holiday travel. The recommendations were presented on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, during a discussion titled “Measures for Safe Eid Travel to Prevent Road Crashes” held at the organization’s office in Shyamoli, Dhaka.
Sharmin Rahman highlighted that road accidents and fatalities during Eid travel in 2026 have increased alarmingly compared to 2025, exposing weaknesses in the country’s road safety system. The organization emphasized the need for immediate action, including enforcing vehicle fitness checks, ensuring adequate rest for drivers, operating mobile courts at key points, limiting truck movement before and after Eid, using speed guns to monitor excessive speed, introducing digital toll booths, and preventing overcharging through mobile courts.
At the meeting, Muhammad Jahangir Alam of the Shipping and Communication Reporters Forum called for deploying more highway police and ensuring that unfit buses do not leave terminals during the Eid rush.
