A total of 377 accidents occurred on the country’s roads, railways, and waterways during the holy Eid-ul-Fitr travel period. These incidents left 394 people dead and 1,288 injured. Of these, 351 people were killed in 346 road accidents alone.

The Passengers’ Welfare Association of Bangladesh disclosed these figures at a press conference held at the Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) auditorium in the capital at 11:00 am today, Monday. The report was prepared by the association’s Road Accident Monitoring Cell based on a review of various media reports.

The association said that when compared with casualty analyses from the ongoing Iran–Israel–United States war over the past 15 days, the number of casualties from road accidents in Bangladesh is significantly higher.

The report was presented at the press conference by the association’s Secretary General, Md Mozammel Haque Chowdhury.

According to the report, during the 15-day period from 14 March—the start of Eid journey—to 28 March, when people returned to workplaces after Eid, 351 people were killed and 1,046 injured in 346 road accidents.
