BNP yesterday alleged that Eid holidaymakers are going through immense sufferings on their way home due to the "mismanagement" of the government authorities.

"There're long tailbacks on the highways near the ferry terminals, including Dhaka-Aricha one.

Trains are packed and their roofs are overcrowded as the government didn't take proper steps to ensure the smooth journey of home-goers," said party senior joint secretary general Ruhul

Kabir Rizvi.

He further said, "Trains schedules are collapsing while vehicles cannot ply smoothly for the poor condition of roads and mismanagement. People are suffering due to the government's mismanagement."

The BNP leader came up with the allegation while distributing leaflets of their party in the city's Gulshan area to create awareness among people about dengue.

He criticised the government for its failure to maintain train schedules as passengers have to wait for long hours at Kamalapur Railway Station.

"Why people are being forced to wait 12 hours to catch their trains when the government always talks about development?"
