Every evening there's a permanent traffic jam starting from Mohakhali Flyover to the Prime Minister's Office. The Tk 200 crore flyover is supposed to reduce traffic congestion. It's unfortunate that the jam remains for half an hour from 6:00 to 9:00pm on every working day. Therefore, the journey from Mohakhali to Farm Gate takes almost an hour. Usually, a bus can reach Farm Gate in 10 minutes in a jam free situation. So, people now waste their valuable time, energy and money on the road. Immediate steps are required to lessen this jam in front of the most prestigious office of the People's Republic of Bangladesh.
