A severe traffic jam stretching about seven kilometers has formed on the Dhaka-Tangail highway between Elenga and Rabna Bypass due to an influx of vehicles during the election holiday period. The congestion began on Tuesday morning and worsened in the afternoon as more vehicles entered the Dhaka-Tangail-Jamuna Bridge route, leaving thousands of northbound travelers stranded for hours.
Many passengers, unable to find public transport, resorted to traveling in open trucks and pickup vans. Reports have also surfaced of transport operators charging extra fares, citing a shortage of public buses. Highway police attributed the situation to the continuous public holidays for the election, which prompted a large number of people to travel to their hometowns.
The prolonged gridlock has caused significant distress for homebound passengers from northern Bangladesh, with authorities struggling to manage the heavy traffic flow along the major highway corridor.
