DHAKA, Bangladesh, Aug 10 (NNN-BSS) – With the Eid al-Adha holiday approaching, hundreds of thousands of Bangladeshi capital dwellers streamed out of the city, to join the festival with their kith and kin in villages.
Bangladeshis will celebrate Eid al-Adha on Aug 12 .
State-owned transport bodies have started special Eid services, to ply on different inter-district routes, in addition to the regular services, to meet the demand of the home-bound city dwellers.
On Friday morning, long distance bus stations, ferry terminals and train stations were seen overflowing with home-bound passengers.
Many were seen even trying to climb up trains’ roofs to reach their village homes.
According to some estimates, millions of people leave Dhaka twice a year, on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.– NNN-BSS
