[2] During the construction of Dhaka BRT, traffic congestion on Airport Road increased and drivers started using this street as an alternative.
[8] The section of the street from Mirpur 12 to Uttara South metro station, however, is not wide enough, causing traffic jams and inconvenience to the passengers.
Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited (DMTCL) constructed the road and, according to DNCC, they are not in possession of it so are unable to address the issue.
[3][4] On 20 December 2023, in a DNCC meeting, a proposal to name the street after Patua Quamrul Hassan, who designed the revised version of the flag of Bangladesh, was accepted.
[9][10] In May 2024, it was reported that DNCC forwarded the approved proposal to the Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives.
