A three kilometre road stretching from Jinadpur Bazar to Dashmouza Bazar in Nabinagar upazila of Brahmanbaria district has caused suffering of locals for potholes and erosion, particularly during the rainy season.
A recent visit to the area revealed the extent of the damage.
Locals say the road’s condition has been deteriorating for years due to a lack of maintenance and during rainfall the situation becomes perilous, resulting in frequent road accidents.
Urging the authorities to take immediate steps to renovate it, local union parishad member Khorshed Alam termed terrible the condition of the road that connects Jinadpur and Satmora unions.
School children, elderly residents, and commuters are the worst sufferers, he said.
Abul Bashar, head teacher of Jinadpur Government Primary School, said, “Accidents are happening regularly. It is critical that the authorities address this issue without further delay.”
Echoing the teacher, local resident Nurul Islam said the dilapidated road is causing constant accidents involving both passengers and vehicles.
Nabinagar Upazila Assistant Engineer Md. Kaiyum said, “The road is included in a project that will widen it. The work is expected to begin by the end of June.”
