The Bangladesh Army has been deployed to manage traffic congestion on the Dhaka-Chattogram highway, particularly in the Cumilla section. As of March 19, 2026, the usually congested areas such as Daudkandi, Chandina, Nimsar Bazar, Cantonment, Alekhar Char, Kotbari, and Paduar Bazar were reported to be free of jams. Long-distance buses, private cars, and freight vehicles were moving smoothly, allowing passengers to reach their destinations on time.
Law enforcement agencies, along with army personnel and Rover Scouts, are jointly maintaining order on the roads and preventing theft and robbery. Field reports indicate that traffic conditions have significantly improved compared to previous days. A bank officer traveling from Dhaka to Cumilla described the journey as smooth and faster than usual, while local traffic volunteers noted a slight increase in pressure during midday hours.
Highway police officials stated that over nine hundred officers are stationed from Daudkandi to Tekna to ensure safe Eid travel. They confirmed that no major traffic jams have occurred so far and that police remain on duty around the clock.
