Many main roads of the city have been packed with vehicles and stuck in gridlock since Thursday (12 October) morning.

Another person Nafiz Imtiaz wrote on social media he couldn't cross the Moghabazar area even at 10:30am despite starting from the Shantinagar area at 9am.
"9 am Shantinagar, 10.30 am mogbazar. 90 minutes 2 KM....I could say avoid mogbazar but all the roads seem the same.....so enjoy I guess!" vented Nafiz Imtiaz.
Another commuter, Wasima Rownak Khan Rishta, write, "Been stuck at banglamotor mor for about 40 mins.. kew janen ekhane ki gojob porse?"
When asked, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar Traffic Zone Assistant Commissioner Tareq Sekandar Abhi told media, "Traffic is immense today as the last working day of the week. We are trying our best to keep the roads clear."
"We are (traffic Tejgaon division including Bijoy Saroni) in the middle of the city, if the vehicles aren't moving in other traffic divisions areas like Gulshan and Ramna, Bijoy Smarani usually sees the highest traffic congestion," he added.
