Traffic police personnel aren't allowed to enjoy iftar with their loved ones like others who are at home are. They still have to do their work at Iftar. They can complete their Iftar while traveling during the break in duty time.
The traffic police officers are continuously on the roads, carrying out their responsibilities while keeping in mind the sun, rain, storms, dust, smoke, and noise to facilitate the smooth and easy transportation of homebound and work-oriented individuals to their destinations.

We are currently in the holy month of Ramadan. The amount of traffic on the highways has also grown in tandem with the capital's commuter congestion during the holy Eid-ul-Fitr. Now it's the time for confined individuals to go back home before dusk.
People swarm the streets. Traffic cops having a difficult time managing the tailbacks. Even yet, the police officers stationed along the route are putting in a lot of overtime to make sure that everyone back home can get where they're going before Iftar.
While those who are at home can share iftar with their loved ones, traffic police officers are not afforded the same privilege. Even at Iftar, they must perform their duties. In the lapse of duty time, they manage to finish their Iftar while traveling.
Recently, it has been seen that certain traffic police officers are preparing Iftar at several junctions in the city, such as Malibag, Mouchak, Bangla Motor, Karwan Bazar, Farmgate, Uttara, and Abdullahpur. The members in charge of the police box were given a bottle of water and iftar packets once they were removed from the box.
Additionally, iftar is typically served in huge plastic bowls (balls). Everyone else is seated for Iftar, except the traffic cops stationed at the crossing. Additionally, those who were on duty at the time received iftar packs.
The traffic police officers carry out their duties in this manner at all road intersections, including during the month of Ramadan. a traffic policeman on duty signal point in Bangla Motor Chatwar, the capital, stated, "Duty on the road, Iftar on the road."
He added that they had to stand on the street to break their fast since there wasn't enough room for them. In other cases, there's a spot to sit but not enough time. Controlling traffic was necessary during the Iftar break.
"We do service work," Reluctance to be named Duty Traffic Inspector (TI) said This city's residents will go home securely and quickly; that is what we desire.
He said that all of the traffic police officers that are on duty here are fasting. While on duty, we also have breakfast. A few team members get ready for Iftar. We proceed to the police box as well when the Adhan is announced.
There must be a person on duty. For this reason, it's common to witness our police officers breaking iftar with one hand while making a signal with another. The road becomes tailgated if the traffic cops are absent for even a little moment. He said, "Duty first, everything else later."
