Fewer buses was seen plying the almost empty streets of Dhaka on Sunday, the first day of the three-day official vacation declared for Eid-Ul-Fitr. The capital, with a population of more than 1.5 million, otherwise remains crammed and noisy. Packed trains were seen leaving the Kamalapur Railway Station on the last day of Eid journeys. Those who stayed back, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief to have a quiet Dhaka. Going from one place to another takes less time,” said Sohel Haider, a resident of Mirpur who is set to celebrate the Eid with family in Dhaka.
