At least one crore people are expected to leave Dhaka ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr, with 15-20 lakh departing daily between March 16 and 20, according to DMP. The mass exodus began as a seven-day holiday started Tuesday, crowding major terminals. Police have increased security and monitoring to prevent fare hikes, harassment, and congestion, aiming to ensure smoother travel as Eid approaches, likely to be celebrated on March 20 or 21.
