UNB, Brahmanbaria :
A bamboo bridge over the Jamuna Canal, which is used by some 1.44 lakh people of 10 villages in Nabinagar upazila, has turned risky.
The residents of 10 villages, including Boro Shikanika, Choto Shikanika, Padmanagar, Kajela, Kathalia, Butterpukur, Malai, Rasulabad Purbapara, Dakkhinpara, Dala and Mola, on two sides of the canal use the bridge every day for going to schools, colleges and bazaars.
Children and elderly people find it difficult to cross the bamboo bridge.
Delwara Begum, 65, wife of Morshed Mia of the area, said she lost her seven-year-old granddaughter last year as she slipped from the bridge and drowned in the canal while crossing it.
Rasulabad Union Parishad Chairman Ali Akbar said a process to build a concrete bridge there is underway as he has sent a proposal to higher authorities in this regard.
