Travelling and commuting before Eid

Published :

Updated :

The nightmarish experience of travelling to countryside during Eid holidays is best known to those who undertake travels during Eid holidays. About half the people of Dhaka leave the city for their village homes to celebrate Eid. Their sufferings start when taking advantage of the rush, the transport owners demand higher fares. Due to mad rush vehicles get stuck at different points on the road which  cause delay. Due to excess of vehicles, accidents take place frequently and many homebound passengers never reach their homes. Every year we have the same experience. Something must be done by the authorities to relieve people of such sufferings during Eid and allow them to enjoy a peaceful Eid with near and dear ones.
