Rain causes traffic chaos in capital

Torrential rain earlier Tuesday morning has triggered water-logging on some streets in Dhaka, causing significant disruptions to daily commute.

In some parts of the city, water levels have risen to knee height. The waterlogging has caused severe hardship for commuters, with office workers and students struggling to navigate the inundated roads.

The road from Mirpur-10 to Shewrapara was submerged. Traffic on Rokeya Sarani slowed to a crawl due to the waterlogged conditions.

Assistant Commissioner of Traffic for Pallabi Zone, Tania Sultana, confirmed the extent of the waterlogging and stressed the importance of strict traffic control measures.

CNG-run auto-rickshaws were spotted stuck in water on Green Road, and in Karwan Bazar, the water had risen up near rickshaw seats. Similarly, roads in Malibagh and Merul Badda are heavily waterlogged, adding to the traffic chaos.

In addition to the waterlogging, severe traffic congestion was reported on the road near Jamuna Future Park, stemming from an oil-laden truck's engine breakdown late last night near the Badda U-loop.

"We are working swiftly to resolve the situation," said Abdul Momen, Deputy Police Commissioner of the DMP Traffic (Gulshan Division), as efforts to clear the congestion continue.    —UNB
