Milton Datta, a sergeant of Dhaka Metropolitan Police's Gulshan zone told The Business Standard, they are facing huge tailbacks in the capital's Kakoli intersection.
"We have seen hundreds of vehicles coming in every five minutes. So, it's difficult to ease the signal," he added.
Traffic jams are also seen on other roads in the capital. People were seen waiting for public transports at different stoppages. But passengers claimed that the bus number is insufficient compared to the demand.
