Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today (June 14) said there is no traffic congestion on the country’s roads and highways despite the pressure of vehicles during of the Eid journey.

He made the remark while speaking at a press conference at the Awami League president’s Dhanmondi political office in the capital this afternoon.

Quader, also the general secretary of Awami League (AL), directed the authorities concerned to discharge their duties so that nobody can set up cattle market indiscriminately increasing public suffering.

Mentioning that there is no such situation in which there will be traffic jam due to bad road condition, he said the best roads ever in Bangladesh were constructed under the AL government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

“Sacrificial animal-carrying vehicles and indiscriminate cattle markets may cause some traffic congestion…it is difficult to avoid suffering when it rains. Attention should be paid to performing responsibilities and surveillance should be increased to prevent untoward accidents and loss of life no roads,” he said.
