A huge traffic jam has formed on both sides of the Dhaka-Chattogram highway, starting all the way from Gouripur in Daudkandi upazila of Cumilla coming up to the Daudkandi toll plaza.
The jam on Friday morning stretched for 6km. Officer-in-charge of Daudkandi highway police station Abul Kalam Azad said: “There is huge pressure on the road from Thursday due to the students’ demonstration in Dhaka following the death of their two fellows.”
“Vehicles are still moving slowly, but the police are trying to make the highway active again,” he added.
