On being asked what was stopping them from going there, one caller, ‘Rozina’, said, “The prime minister is coming! Capping off a 17-day trip to the US and Canada, Hasina will arrive in Dhaka on Friday afternoon. The Awami League has announced a ‘public reception’ to welcome the prime minister for achieving UN-women 'Planet 50-50 Champion' and Global Partnership Forum 'Agent of Change Award' during the visit. Commuters had suffered in massive traffic snarl-ups on Airport Road on Sep 22 when the BNP held a similar reception programme for Chairperson Khaleda Zia. An assistant commissioner claimed that residents of the capital did not face any traffic chaos when the prime minister was given a similar reception on her return from the UN visit last year.
