The police super, however, said there was no gridlock on the highway, but the vehicles movement was slow.
Due to the first holiday from Friday, the holidaymakers started to leave for their village homes from Thursday to celebrate Eid with their near and dear ones. As a result, the movement of huge vehicles on the highway became slow.
As a consequence, the traffic jam was created from
Elenga bus stand to Bangabanddu Bridge. Later, the traffic became tolerable and the vehicles started slow movement.
Bangabandhu East Thana Officer-in-Charge Md Mosharraf Hossain said, as the vehicles could not move smoothly, there was a 15-kilometre long queue from Alenga to Bangabandhu Bridge. However, the gridlock gradually started to become easier.
