Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed announced that Dhaka’s traffic congestion is expected to ease significantly by the end of April if short-term plans are implemented as scheduled. He made the statement on Tuesday, March 24, after a meeting at the Secretariat chaired by Prime Minister Tareq Rahman on resolving traffic congestion and modernizing traffic management in the capital.
The minister said the meeting discussed short-, medium-, and long-term strategies for improving the traffic system. Representatives from the Dhaka Metropolitan Police, both city corporations, the Home Ministry, RAJUK, BUET experts, DTCA, and other relevant agencies attended. He noted that resolutions from the meeting would be shared later but expressed optimism that short-term measures would be completed by April, leading to noticeable improvement in traffic conditions.
Ahmed added that medium- and long-term plans would further enhance the traffic system. He also mentioned that traffic signals are being automated using local technology, with seven intersections already upgraded and six more to follow within a week, eventually covering around 120 signals across Dhaka.
