TANGAIL: A 10-killometer-long traffic gridlock on Dhaka-Tangail highway pushed hundreds of passengers into serious sufferings on Saturday.

Sources said that additional vehicle pressure on roads due to Eid-ul-Azha and Durga Puja created huge traffic jam in the road.

Besides, rail crossing in roads made the vehicle running slow and vehicles stuck on roads in some places.

Confirming the matter, Elenga highway police outpost sergeant Kamruzzaman Raj told banglanews police was trying to reduce the traffic jam.
