At least 25 people were injured when two passenger buses carrying garment workers collided head-on in Dhamrai, Dhaka, on Saturday morning. The accident occurred around 8 a.m. in front of the Incepta Pharmaceuticals factory on the Dhaka-Aricha highway in the Baribaria area. The collision caused severe damage to the front sections of both buses and led to a major traffic jam that lasted about two hours until the vehicles were removed from the road.

According to local sources, a Padma Paribahan bus traveling from Dhaka to Manikganj collided with a Swopno Paribahan bus coming from the opposite direction. Fire service units arrived quickly, rescuing the injured with help from locals and sending them to Manikganj Hospital and nearby clinics. Several of the injured were reported to be in critical condition. The Swopno Paribahan bus was carrying workers from Graphics Garments.

Fire Station Officer Al Amin Khan confirmed that the driver of the Swopno Paribahan bus, who was trapped in the wreckage, was rescued and sent to Dhaka Medical College Hospital for advanced treatment.
