Incessant rains and India's upstream waters have hit 11 districts of the country in the worst floods in recorded history. Dhaka-Chittagong highway is now under water due to flood. As a result, the Dhaka-bound lane of the highway has created a terrible traffic jam in an area of ​​45 km.

Going to the ground, it was seen that the Chittagong-bound lane from Muhuriganj to Lalpol has sunk. Water flow was seen on the road. Due to this, severe traffic jam has occurred in the Dhaka-bound lane. Thousands of cars are standing for hours. There is no end to the suffering of passengers and drivers. However, police station, traffic and highway police were not seen anywhere on the road.

Zorarganj Highway Police in-charge Sohel Sarkar said that the police will not benefit from performing their duties on the road. Because the car cannot move due to water. When the water recedes, the traffic jam will be eased
