From Bhogra Bypass to Chandana Crossroads, the vehicular pressure increased as the day advanced, but traffic movement did not stop.

Vehicular movement from Chandana intersection to Kaliakair on the Dhaka-Tangail highway was also normal. At Chandra Trimor area on Nabinagar-Chandra highway, traffic pressure is increasing every now and then. As a result, vehicles were moving slowly.

On the other hand, traffic is moving at a slow pace in the two kilometres area from Pushpdam Resort in Gazipur Sadar upazila to Garhgarhia Mastarbari on Dhaka-Mymensingh highway.

Traffic congestion is being created as people are crossing the roads here and there, and buses are stopping on the highway to pick up and drop passengers, said driver Alamgir Hossain, of the bus ofRajiv Paribahan busplying on this route.
