Between March 14 and March 28, 2026, a total of 373 road accidents across Bangladesh caused 298 deaths and over 2,000 injuries, according to data compiled from hospitals and media reports. The Road Safety Foundation disclosed these figures in a press release issued on April 1. Among the victims were 46 women and 67 children. Motorcycle accidents accounted for nearly 39 percent of the fatalities, while 47 pedestrians and 36 drivers or assistants also lost their lives. Additionally, 11 waterway accidents killed nine people, and 29 railway accidents caused 41 deaths.
The report showed that the Chattogram Division recorded the highest number of accidents and deaths, with 93 incidents and 74 fatalities, while Barishal Division had the lowest with 12 deaths. More than 10 million people traveled from Dhaka and about 40 million moved within the country during the Eid period. Despite reduced congestion, passengers faced overcharging on roads, railways, and waterways.
The Foundation recommended restructuring the National Road Safety Council, enforcing vehicle safety technology, removing outdated vehicles, and improving driver training to ensure safer transport nationwide.
