On the other hand, the traffic pressure from Meghna Bridge to Gomti Bridge in Munshiganj on the Dhaka-Chittagong highway was also negligible.
Ziaul Haider, Mawa traffic inspector of Munshiganj, said that the Eid holiday is ending today as the offices resume, but there is not much traffic pressure.
Eid holidaymakers also did not face much traffic as this time the Eid holiday was longer than usual and people went to their hometown in phases. Also, efforts of the traffic police and other authorities concerned helped avoid congestions.
