Eid-ul-Fitr was celebrated across the country with due religious fervor and festivity on April 22. We extend our thanks to the government for its measures to ensure peaceful celebration of Eid-ul-Fitr and hassle-free Eidjourney for the home-goers.Barring a few stray incidents of road crash on roads and highways and gridlock at ferry ghats, Eid holidaymakers went home without facing any trouble on the roads and highways as there was no traffic jam.
A large number of people left the capital, Dhakato celebrate the festival at their village homes with near and dear ones. Dhaka streets took deserted look as people went to villages to celebrate the festival.
It was an apprehension that people might have to face huge suffering on roads and highways during Eid journey.Butthe sincere efforts and cooperation of all concerned made this year’s Eid journey more comfortable than ever before washing away all apprehensions.
Severe traffic gridlock on roads and highways and untold sufferings of people were common phenomena during the Eid journey in the previous years.But due to sincere steps taken by the present government, this time the Eid journey of holidaymakers was comfortable on roads and highways.
We hope that the same
service would be provided
to the
passengers during their return
