Road Transport and Highway Division (RTHD) sets up a central control room in Dhaka to ensure smooth traffic for holidaymakers during the journey of Eid-ul-Azha.

With his seven-month-old nephew on his lap, Mohammad Shohag, along with his siblings, was seen waiting at the Kamalapur Railway Station to catch the Nilphamari-bound Nilsagar Express.

Homebound people leaving Dhaka to celebrate Eid with dear ones via trains face sufferings on the second day of the journey as several trains lagged behind the schedule.

Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader says the condition of roads and highways is far better than before.

Eid holidaymakers suffer immensely following disruption in the schedules of a number of trains on different routes particularly of those that run in the country’s northern districts.
