StaffCorrespondent

Some 10.7 million mobile users left Dhaka during the extended nine-day public holiday for Eid ul-Fitr, spanning 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 chief adviser shared this data on his Facebook account.According to his post, during the holiday period, 10.7 million mobile users left Dhaka, while 4.4 million users entered 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.After Eid, a significant number of people continued to leave the city, with 2.99 million mobile users recorded as leaving Dhaka between April 1 and 3.As government offices, courts, and banks reopened on Sunday, April 6, many of those who had returned to their hometowns began returning to Dhaka. By this point, 4.44 million mobile users had reentered the capital, with a peak of 998,579 users returning last Friday.This data gives a clear indication of the massive movement of people within the country during the Eid festivities, highlighting the widespread migration to and from Dhaka during the holiday season.
