A special task force will be on the field to maintain order at the bus terminals of Dhaka ahead of this year's Eid-ul-Fitr, said Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader.
The group, comprising various law enforcement agencies, will provide necessary assistance to the holidaymakers while mobile courts will prevent anyone from charging extra fares, he said during a press briefing at the Secretariat on Tuesday.
Necessary preparations have been made following the instructions of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to ensure safe and smooth Eid journeys for home-goers, he added.
