DHAKA, Feb 26, 2025 (BSS) - The Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) has decided to introduce one-way traffic to some crossings in the capital city for nine days from Feb 28 to March 8 aimed at easing the public sufferings for nagging traffic jam. 
  
 "Traffic jams occur every morning and afternoon during peak hours at Abul Hotel and Madina Hotel Crossing, Malibagh Railgate Crossing and Khilgaon Community Center Crossing in the Rampura area of Dhaka metropolis. In order to reduce the traffic congestion and mitigate the suffering of the people in the areas, it has been decided to make those roads one-way from February 28 to March 8," it said. 

The statement signed by DMP Commissioner SM Sazzat Ali said that one-way traffic will be made on the road Abul Hotel Crossing to Medina Hotel Crossing to Khilgaon Community Center Crossing (so that vehicles will enter both lanes from Abul Hotel Crossing and go only eastwards from Medina Hotel Crossing to Khilgaon Community Center Crossing).
