UNB, Dhaka

In a bid to ease the city's vexing traffic jam, the Ministry of Education has asked the authorities of all educational institutions in the capital to start their classes at 7:30am.

The educational institutions have been asked to comply with the directive regardless of their single or double shifts, said a handout yesterday.

A total of 12 vigilance teams, led by 12 Deputy Secretaries of the ministry, have formed to strictly enforce the directive.

The team members will make separate visits to the educational institutions and submit their reports to the ministry by October 20. The ministry has urged all concerned to cooperate with the vigilance teams during their visits.
