Heavy traffic congestion paralyzed Chittagong Road from Wednesday night as BNP’s acting chairman Tareque Rahman returned to Bangladesh for a three-day visit. The gridlock intensified Thursday morning, with vehicles remaining stationary for over ninety minutes. Commuters leaving Dhaka for other districts faced major delays, particularly between Signboard and Kanchpur, though inbound traffic toward Dhaka remained normal. Transport staff and local witnesses reported intermittent relief in traffic flow overnight but said conditions worsened again in the morning. The congestion coincided with the start of a national holiday period, amplifying the number of outbound travelers. Authorities have yet to issue an official statement on traffic management measures. The situation underscores Dhaka’s chronic traffic challenges, especially during political or holiday events. Officials may deploy additional traffic police and coordinate with highway authorities to ease movement ahead of the weekend rush.
