On the occasion of election holiday, a large number of people are heading towards home. The rush, including many workers, has caused traffic congestion on the Dhaka–Tangail and Dhaka–Mymensingh highways.
Many workers from garment factories in Gazipur are returning home after getting several days off at once.
This has increased traffic on the highways, causing difficulties for travelers.
Passenger pressure has also increased on the Savar’s Nabinagar–Chandra highway, and transportation shortages have been reported.
In some areas, passengers have complained about being charged higher fares.
