Traffic jam is a big problem in Dhaka city. It is a regular matter that we are to wait in the rickshaw or bus or other transports for hours due to traffic jam. It becomes worse when gatherings and processions are held in the middle of the road. By closing the road, political programmes are being held regularly in front of national press club. Those who have to use this road know how much they suffer. Besides, if any big party calls a meeting or procession in Dhaka, the whole city comes to a standstill. To stop this immediately, the government should allot a big open space for political gathering. I would request the prime minister, the policy makers, and the authorities concerned to look into the matter seriously.
