The return rush to Dhaka has begun as the Eid holidays draw to a close, with many offices set to resume operations. Passenger-packed buses and trains are bringing holidaymakers back to the capital. Moderate crowds have been observed at key entry points like Jatrabari, Kamalapur, Gabtoli, and Sayedabad. Government and private sector employees enjoyed a seven-day holiday from May 25 to May 31. Transport officials anticipate heavier traffic in the coming days as garment workers begin their return journey. At Kamalapur Railway Station, train arrivals have been manageable, though some passengers reported delays. Vehicle movement within Dhaka is increasing, with both public and private vehicles on the rise. However, traffic congestion and long queues at signals have been minimal. Officials predict relatively light traffic pressure for the next three to four days. Notably, vehicles are largely adhering to traffic signals, with AI-powered surveillance cameras contributing to more orderly road behavior compared to previous years.
