Public and private offices, courts, banks and financial organizations reopened following the holiday. As a result, individuals from various areas are rushing to Dhaka to find job.
During a visit on Monday, Kamalapur train station was overcrowded. This station has been crowded with passengers since the morning. From dawn until 1 p.m., twenty inter-district and local trains from all across the nation arrived at Kamalapur Station. Every train was packed with passengers. Many people arrived in Dhaka by rail and joined the workplace.
The station master admitted that the train’s timetable had been disturbed saying that the schedule of one or two trains has been disrupted for a variety of reasons. Most trains arrive in Dhaka on time.
It was seen that those who had left for Eid were making their way back home on all long-distance buses on Monday afternoon during a visit to the Gabtali bus station.The majority of those traveling from the Northern area were headed to Amin Bazar, Hemayetpur and Savar. The remaining ones were descending at Gabtali Terminal.

Passengers got into some problems after getting off the bus. CNC drivers requested additional charges due of the large number of passengers. Furthermore, they were not accepting passengers on the metre. In the hot sun, the passengers were not negotiating as much.
