Traffic Drive Clears Illegal Parking Near Bangla College and Delta Hospital, Restores Order in Mirpur

Dhaka, Mirpur – To reduce traffic congestion and ensure smooth pedestrian movement on key roads in the Mirpur area, the Traffic Department of Mirpur has been conducting regular operations.

As part of this ongoing initiative, illegally parked ambulances, private cars, and other vehicles were removed from the main road near Bangla College and Delta Hospital. Legal action was also taken against the violators.

Despite the area's importance for both vehicular and pedestrian movement, ambulances and private cars had long been parked haphazardly in front of the hospital. This led to severe traffic jams and disrupted emergency services, including patient transport.

Although multiple notices had been issued earlier, vehicle owners failed to comply, prompting the Traffic Department to take direct action. During the operation, the illegally parked vehicles were removed with the help of traffic police, and appropriate legal measures were taken.

Local residents and pedestrians welcomed the move and cooperated spontaneously. One pedestrian remarked,

"It was getting harder to walk here every day. Ambulances would block the center, and private cars were parked on the sides. There was barely any space to walk. Now that the road is clear, it feels like discipline is returning to the city."

According to the Traffic Department, such drives will continue regularly. In addition, awareness campaigns will be launched to promote compliance with parking regulations, especially around hospitals and densely populated areas.
