The Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FBCCI) yesterday urged the government to deploy adequate number of traffic police at the toll plazas of Bangabandhu Multipurpose Bridge to ensure smooth transportation of cattle laden trucks ahead of the Eid-ul-Azha.
A large number of vehicles that came from the country's northern region with sacrificial animals enter the bridge at a time and create horrible traffic congestion on the bridge's toll plaza, FBCCI President AK Azad said in a statement.
All those cause severe traffic congestions also in Alenga of Tangail, Chandra of Gazipur and Baipal areas where some local truck drivers are creating panic, according to the statement.
The apex trade body appealed to the home minister, communications minister and inspector general of police to take immediate measures to ensure smooth communication system with the north Bengal for the interest of general people and passengers.
