Rain triggered by Cyclone Sitrang has been causing commute woes for Dhaka dwellers since Monday morning.
Bangladesh Meteorological Department recorded 28 mm rains in 9 hours till 12 pm today, reports UNB.
People, especially office and school goers, struggled to reach their destinations on time amid the rain due to lack of public transport in the morning.
However, there was no report of traffic congestion and waterlogging.
CNG-run auto-rickshaw drivers and rickshaw-pullers were seen charging extra fares from passengers.
The number of private vehicles on the roads was also low.
Day labourers and other low-income people were seen without work due to inclement weather. Many preferred to stay indoor due to the torrential rain that started Sunday night.
