Several Sirajganj roads in bad shape for long
Several important roads in the district have remained in an awful condition due to lack of repair work for long.
Due to potholes and damages in the roads, thousands of people experience bumpy ride while the heavy vehicles often get stuck in the earth. The situation becomes worse in the rainy season, said locals.
The roads include Enayetpur KG More-Shahzadpur Road, Kaizuri-Zamirta Road, Kamarkhand-Ullapara Road, Ullapara-Mohanpur Road, Mahisluti-Taras Road, Salanga-Nimgachi Road, Dhangara-Bengnai-Pangashi Road and Kazipur-Simla Road.
Among those, Enayetpur-Shahzadpur Road often sees huge traffic jam as handloom traders use it for weekly market twice a week.
Roads with damaged carpeting cause frequent accidents to vehicles carrying passengers and goods, said residents in Shahzadpur.
The Kaizuri-Jamirta Road, built on an embankment, was badly damaged during the last flood. But it is yet to be repaired. Besides, the bad condition of Mahisluti-Tarash Road adds to sufferings of pedestrians.
The Local Government Engineering Directorate (LGED) office in the district seems indifferent to the condition of the roads, locals alleged.
Contacted, Golam Mostafa, executive engineer of LGED, said the renovation work of the roads was in progress.
However, this correspondent, while visiting those roads, found no activities in favour of his claims.
