Roads in Faridganj upazila of Chandpur in sorry state

Residents of Faridganj municipality are suffering a lot as almost all the important roads of the upazila headquarters have been lying in dilapidated conditions for long.
The roads that lie in most shabby state stretch from Faridganj Paschim Bazar up to Kalir Bazar Chowrasta (intersection), from Paschim Bazar up to T&T More (intersection), from Purbo Bazar road up to Char Basanta Bridge via Keroa Road and from Keroa Bridge up to Mirpur School.
People of all ages most often face difficulties in negotiating with the run-down streets.
The situation turns even worse after a shower as water remains stagnant for days, creating muds and potholes in the roads, locals said.
Moreover, the town has no proper drainage system.
Town dwellers alleged that torrential rainfalls couple of months ago have also turned these roads into more deplorable condition.
According to sources, Faridganj Pourasava presently holds the status of a 'C' grade municipality.
It was officially declared Pourasava (municipality) on September 1, 2005 with an area of 19.75 square kilometres.
But the roads have not seen any touch of development since, thanks to political tangles.
Contacted, Pourasava Mayor Md Manzil Hossain (also a local BNP leader) said he would try his best to repair the roads as soon as possible with the money earmarked in the budget.
