Vehicles carrying essentials, emergency medicine exempt from restriction


To ensure hassle-free travel for holidaymakers, the government has decided to stop the movement of trucks, vans and lorries on highways three days before and three days after Eid-ul-Fitr.

Road Transport and Highways Division Secretary ABM Amin Ullah Nuri made the announcement in a meeting at BRTA Bhaban on Thursday morning.

The meeting was chaired by Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader.

“Vehicles carrying daily essentials and emergency medicine will be out of the purview of the restriction,” the secretary said.
