The Gazipur Metropolitan Police (GMP) on Saturday issued some traffic directives to ease Bishwa Ijtema devotees commuting to and from the congregation ground.

Movement of vehicles from Tongi to Bhogra Bypass on Dhaka-Mymensingh Highway, Kamarpara Road, Abdullahpur to Bypile on Ashulia Road will remain suspended from 6am Sunday till the end of Akheri Munajat (final prayers), said GMP Commissioner Mollah Nazrul Islam.

The GMP commissioner requested commuters to use the bypass road to avoid traffic gridlock.

The second phase of Bishwa Ijtema started on Friday morning and it will end through the Akheri Munajat on Sunday morning.

Earlier in the first phase of the congregation, the GMP also issued directives regarding traffic movement to reduce the suffering of Ijtema attendees.
