Dhaka’s woeful traffic

A traffic jam in front of Gausia Market in the capital’s New Market area as shoppers in large numbers gathered yesterday despite the restrictions on people’s movement to contain the spread of Covid-19. Shops are allowed to open during the restrictions on condition that they follow the health-safety guidelines, which were hardly maintained. Photo: Amran Hossain

With life slowly returning to normal after the pandemic, inhabitants of Dhaka are again suffering due to the city's awful traffic. It is truly shocking how authorities over the years have failed to address this problem, despite the huge losses people have to incur because of it on a regular basis.
