Madhubazar road remains closed for days
City Correspondent
To the suffering of thousands of people, Madhubazar road, a vital link road between Dhanmondi and Rayer Bazar has remained closed for nearly week as the Dhaka City Corporation took up a program to clean underground drain. The job of cleaning the small underground drain over an area of hardly 150 meters, could be completed within a day. Local residents said that negligence of the authorities had to be blamed for the delay. Meanwhile diverted traffic mostly consisting of rickshaws is now choking other roads in the area. "This is the only road that directly links Rayerbazar with Dhanmondi and it is mostly used by the people who do not have private cars so the authorities do not care much for the non-VIPs," said Kamrul, a resident of Madhubazar. "We understand that the cleaning is being done to reduce waterlogging in the area but this simple work could never take so long to finish," Kamrul added. DCC's conservative officials said that they would immediately look into the matter and take steps to open the road.
