Incessant rains and India’s upstream waters have hit 11 districts of the country in the worst floods in recorded history. Dhaka-Chattogram highway is now under water due to flood. As a result, the Dhaka-bound lane of the highway has created a terrible traffic jam in an area of 45 km. The traffic jam created last Thursday night (August 22)
It has been seen that the Chattogram-bound lane from Muhuriganj to Lalpol has sunk. Due to this, severe traffic jam has occurred in the Dhaka-bound lane. Thousands of cars are standing for hours. There is no end to the suffering of passengers and drivers. However, police station, traffic and highway police were not seen anywhere on the road.
Lorry driver Asif Hossain said, I left Chattogram port on Thursday night. Arrived at Sonapahar on Friday morning. I am standing on the street. There is no way to go.
