Dhaka:A new temporary bus terminal has been inaugurated in the RAJUK Jhilmil Residential Project area in Chunkutia. The initiative aims to reduce the entry and movement of long-distance buses within Dhaka, thereby easing traffic congestion and improving road discipline and passenger safety.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the terminal was officially opened at 930 am. The event was attended by key officials, including Md Akhtar Hossain, deputy police commissioner of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police's (DMP) Media and Public Relations Wing, RAJUK Chairman Md Riazul Islam, and DMP Additional Commissioner (Traffic) Md Anisur Rahman.
The plan includes initiating bus services to 19 districts in southern Bangladesh from the temporary terminal within the next two months. The DMP has stressed the importance of coordinated efforts among all relevant agencies to modernize traffic management in the capital. It also highlighted that such joint initiatives will continue to ensure orderly traffic movement and safer journeys for passengers.
