The official also claimed that the traffic situation has gotten back to normal now before it could turn too severe.
However, commuters are said to suffer a great deal due to the long wait while getting late for their regular business, like office and classes.
An office-goer of the Motijheel commercial area, Aminul Masud, told The Business Standard that It took him around one hour and forty-six minutes to reach Shapla Chattar from the Mohakhali Icddr,b area.
