DMP scrambles to smoothen vehicular movement amid traffic congestion

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) on Sunday strides to maintain vehicular movement normal on the city streets as multiple organizations launch separate programs, says an official realease.

These programs result in severe traffic congestion and disruption of road communications, causing widespread public suffering.

Groups gather in front of the National Press Club to seek MPO registration for non-MPO educational institutions.

Protests also started across various city streets, demanding the recognition of schools for persons with disabilities, employment opportunities for job-seeking disabled graduates, and the inclusion of non-cadre candidates from the 43rd BCS examination.

The simultaneous protests at different city points brought vehicular movement to a crawl, with long tailbacks reported in several major thoroughfares, a DMP statement said.

Despite the disruptions, the DMP said officers are working tirelessly to manage traffic and minimize public inconvenience.

"Despite numerous challenges, our efforts to maintain normal traffic flow continue," BSS reported, citing the statement.

The DMP has expressed sincere regret for the temporary hardship caused by the "unforeseen circumstances."
