Heavy traffic congestion has been reported on the Dhaka–Mymensingh and Dhaka–Tangail highways in Gazipur on Thursday morning, as vehicles moved intermittently amid the Eid travel rush. Long queues stretched for several kilometers, particularly around the Chandra intersection, leaving passengers stranded for hours. Transport operators cited excessive vehicle pressure, random parking, and wrong-way driving by autorickshaws as major causes. Passengers also alleged that transport companies were charging extra fares.
Overnight rain worsened the situation by creating muddy conditions and waterlogging in several parts of the highways. Crowded roadsides, disorganized parking, and people boarding vehicles on the road further narrowed the lanes, slowing traffic. Areas including Kabirpur, Chandra, Kaliakoir, Board Bazar, Bhogra Bypass, and Chandna Chowrasta experienced severe slowdowns.
Police officials said the congestion intensified after garment factories closed on Wednesday afternoon, prompting large numbers of workers and residents to leave Gazipur. Additional police, volunteers, and other agencies were deployed to ease the situation, but traffic remained slow due to high passenger volume and poor road conditions.
