Eid Exodus: Over 10.7 Million Mobile Users Flee Dhaka During Holidays

Dhaka, April 5 -- Approximately 10.7 million mobile users departed Dhaka throughout the prolonged nine-day public holiday for Eid ul-Fitr, which ran from March 28 to April 3.

This information, based on data from the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC), covers users of four major telecom operators-Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink and Teletalk.

Faiz Ahmad Tayyab, special assistant to the senior adviser of the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications, and Information Technology, shared this data on his Facebook account.

Based on his posting, over the festive season, approximately 10.7 million mobile users departed from Dhaka, whereas around 4.4 million individuals arrived in the city.

Due to the lack of precise data on how many individuals left Dhaka for other destinations, this estimate is based on the number of mobile users. Children and individuals who do not use mobile phones are excluded from this calculation, while those who use multiple SIM cards are included.

The highest number of people left Dhaka on March 30, the day before Eid, with 2.39 million mobile users recorded as departing the capital. Between March 28 and 31, 7.75 million mobile users left Dhaka.

Eid holiday ends; holidaymakers continue returning to workplaces

Following Eid, many individuals kept departing from the city, with data showing that 2.99 million mobile users left Dhaka between April 1 and 3.

When government offices, courthouses, and financial institutions resumed operations on Sunday, April 6, numerous individuals who had traveled back to their home towns started making their way back to Dhaka. At this stage, 4.44 million mobile users were recorded as having re-entered the city, including a high of 998,579 people who arrived last Friday.

These figures clearly demonstrate the significant population shifts within the nation during Eid celebrations, underscoring the extensive travel to and from Dhaka throughout this festive period.

“I used ChatGPT to save my relationship, here’s what it did for me”

Image
Our fights used to feel like tense reality TV episodes: action-packed, a little too loud, and downright exhausting. Then one night, feeling a bit on edge, I called on an unexpected ally: ChatGPT. Yes, artificial intelligence. And no, it's not as cold and weird as it sounds. One evening, after yet another argument We've been together for 8 years. The kind of relationship where we finish each other's sentences... and sometimes also get on each other's nerves. Despite the love (still there, I assure you) , communication was becoming more and more... acrobatic. It only took one wrong word for everything to degenerate: poorly worded reproaches, icy silences, sentences we regret barely having said. One evening, the atmosphere was frosty. We had argued—again—over something trivial. I think it was about summer vacation: she wanted the mountains this time, me the sea again, and we found ourselves throwing reproaches at each other about two-year-old issues. You get ...
