Khagrachhari-CTG road in awful state

Khagrachhari-Chattagram, the most important road that connects Khagrachhari Sadar with other districts of the country, lies in awful state for over three weeks, making it tough for vehicles to use the route.

Due to heavy rain and landslide for three days from June 11, 10 kilometres area of the road in Alutila hill area got heavily damaged, said Mohammad Moslemuddin Chowdhury, executive engineer of Khagrachhari Road and Highways Department (RHD).

The department has identified 20 spots of the road, which must be repaired on an emergency basis. If these parts are not renovated immediately, the road will collapse during further heavy rainfall.

Md Ibrahim, a truck driver, said several parts of the road were destroyed by rainwater. There is a possibility of major collapse in Supmara and dumping station areas.

The RHD engineer said the fiscal year has ended. Repair work will start with the beginning of the new fiscal year.
