Plying of heavy vehicles during Eid banned

Minister for Road Transport and Bridges Obaidul Quader said on Saturday heavy vehicles would not be allowed to use highways across the country three days before Eid-ul-Azha and three days after the festival for easing the travel of the Eid holidaymakers, reports UNB.
The minister said this while talking to journalists after inaugurating two bridges at Shahidnagar and Jinglatoli in Comilla. Assuring that the home-goers will not face any trouble on highways during their journeys, Mr Quader said the engineers of Roads and Highways department in every district will remain ready to immediately solve any road-related problems. Highway police will also remain alert to avoid road accidents and traffic jams, he added.
The minister also urged the authorities concerned to remove all the billboards, including the political one, installed beside highways as early as possible.
