However, the situation became normal as they cleared road around 11:30am.

Meanwhile, the city dwellers, mostly office goers, are undergoing immense sufferings from Wednesday morning as public transports are not carrying more than 50 percent passengers in Dhaka following a government directive. The bus fare also hiked by 60%.

A lot of commuters were seen walking out of frustration as buses were not halting at the stops because there were no seats available. 

A set of new restrictions was imposed as Bangladesh is witnessing an alarming rise of Covid-19 cases over the past few weeks.
