The Dhaka Ahsania Mission Youth Forum for Health and Wellbeing has made nine recommendations to the government to ensure safer travel during the upcoming Eid holidays. The proposals, announced on March 10, 2026, by coordinator Marjana Muntaha through a press release, include banning unfit vehicles from roads, enforcing speed limits, and mandating quality helmets for motorcyclists and passengers. The forum also urged authorities to ensure drivers’ rest periods and to prevent the operation of unauthorized vehicles such as battery-run transports on major highways.

The statement noted that road accidents in Bangladesh rise sharply during Eid due to reckless driving, poor regulation, and increased traffic. Citing Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) data, it reported 132 deaths and 208 injuries in 110 road accidents during the last Eid-ul-Fitr holidays, with fatalities rising by about 19 percent compared to 2023.

The organization emphasized that effective laws, strict enforcement, and institutional accountability are essential to reduce fatalities and allow citizens to celebrate Eid safely with their families.
