A massive traffic jam stretching about 23 kilometers has formed on the Dhaka-Tangail highway, causing severe suffering for homebound passengers ahead of Eid. Since Monday night, May 25, vehicles have been moving slowly through the Savar and Kaliakoir sections. Traffic congestion was reported from Jirani to Chandra, covering around 8 kilometers, and from Mouchak to Gorai, covering another 15 kilometers.
Eyewitnesses said the gridlock resulted from excessive vehicle pressure, breakdowns at several points, and the simultaneous movement of a large number of vehicles for Eid travel. The situation worsened due to the heavy presence of buses, trucks, and private cars. Passengers described long waits, with some forced to walk after being stuck for hours. Families with children and elderly members expressed particular distress.
Kona Bari Naojor Highway Police Station Officer-in-Charge Saugatul Alam stated that the slowdown was due to heavy traffic but assured that police officers were working continuously to manage the situation.
