Easing Gulistan's traffic chaos

Gulistan is a busy place in Dhaka city. Despite having a flyover and wider roads, this place always remains crowded and jammed by heavy traffic. If anyone has to pass this place quickly, s/he must get down from the vehicle and start walking. Otherwise, passengers have to get stuck to seemingly never-ending jams. One of the main reasons behind this is illegal bus parking under the Mayor Hanif Flyover. A large number of buses are parked every day under the flyover, causing immense sufferings both to commuters and pedestrians.

There is no designated parking area in Gulistan. So, buses are parked haphazardly on the road on a regular basis. It is done in broad daylight in front of law enforcers. If the authorities concerned took a stern action against bus parking in Gulistan, traffic congestion would be eased to a great extent.
