26km tailback on Dhaka-Chattogram highway

A 26-km tailback was created on the Dhaka-Chattogram highway from Feni on Friday. 

The tailback caused huge sufferings to the commuters.

Several hundred vehicles were stuck on both sides on the busy highway starting from Chouddagram municipality to Fatehpur rail crossing in Feni district.

The vehicles were moving slowly on the highway due to the on-going work on the rail overpass in Fatehpur rail crossing.

Rahmat Ullah, additional superintendent of highway police in Cumilla region, blamed the construction work for the traffic jam.

He said that they were trying to ease the traffic congestion.
