Happy trips home
The daily star
Eid holidaymakers face lesser trouble this time so far; congestion at city exit points, highways largely smooth

Six-year-old Aryan all excited called his grandfather from his parent's phone to tell him to get the fishing rods ready because he is coming home and he would like to go fishing with him.
Aryan was waiting with his parents at Kalyanpur in the capital for a bus to Rajshahi where the family would spend their Eid holidays.
"I will go to my Dadu's [grandfather] after a long time. We will have lots of fun," he said, barely able to contain his excitement.
His parents were all smiles too.
Like Aryan's family, thousands of people heading home yesterday left for their destinations happy as they faced relatively less hassle this years.
Usually, people heading home on Eid holidays face immense sufferings on their way, including long tailbacks on highways and schedule collapse of buses and trains, due to the huge rush.
As of yesterday, most buses and trains were on time spreading joy among the people heading home.
