Traffic on Dhaka-Ctg road returns to normalcy

Star Report
Vehicular movement on the Dhaka-Chittagong highway returned to normalcy yesterday evening after a 36-hour congestion caused by a road crash. Thousands of passengers suffered severely as they remained stuck on the road till 6:30pm, reports our Daudkandi correspondent. The tailback which stretched from Daudkandi toll plaza to Comilla Cantonment area was a consequence of Friday's road accident in Chandina upazila of Comilla. On Friday, the tailback began as a Dhaka-bound goods-laden truck from Chittagong turned turtle at Madhaiya in the upazila around 7:00am. Communications Minister Obaidul Quader visited the traffic congestion on the highway on his trip to Chittagong from Dhaka Saturday noon. On the way, he asked the people concerned around 12:30pm to solve the problem soon.
