Awful condition of Trishal road
The awful condition of the five-kilometre-long Bailor-Phulbaria road in Trishal upazila of the district has been causing great suffering to the users for the last three years.
Thousands of people, including students of Trishal and Phulbaria upazilas, use the road every day facing serious problems, locals said. The suffering is beyond description when they need to take a critical patient to upazila or district headquarters, they said.
The road could be used as a by-pass road, saving both time and money, to connect Trishal and Mymensingh town, but its dilapidated condition does not allow that, lamented Ujjal Master of Bawaliapara village in Boilor.
Now they have to travel around 25-kilometres more to reach Mymensingh town, he said.
College teacher Mosharraf Hossain Manik said hundreds of students have been facing many difficulties getting to their institutions for years.
Trader Mir Kashbin Ahmed of Dhanikhola village said movement of goods along the road, especially in the rainy season, has been disrupted due to the dilapidated condition of the road.
They all demanded immediate repair of the road.
Boilor Union Parishad Chairman Mohammad Asadullah Asad said he requested the higher authorities several times to take initiative for repairing the road immediately, but the appeals went in vain.
The road was built over 20 years ago and started to break up in the last one decade as poor quality materials were used in its construction, Asad said, adding that no repair work was carried out in the last three years,
Trishal upazila LGED engineer Md Saber Ali said an estimate of Tk 10.24 crore for development work on the road was submitted to the department concerned two months ago and they are waiting for allocation of the fund.
