S.A Shofiee, Sylhet :
The 3km-long mud road from Eidgah Bazar to Khalopar area in Lalabazar union under Dakshin Surma upazila of the district has been causing sufferings to the people of six villages due to the negligence of the authorities concerned during the last 45 years.
Repeated requests by the people of the villages to the lawmakers, chairmen and even to government officials concerned, for making a brick road for smooth movement of the villagers, have fallen on deaf years.
Using the road, especially during the rainy season, is hazardous. Accidents take place in the knee-deep water, and it sometimes becomes impossible to reach the destination.
Locals said around 15 thousand people of Faridpur, Paschimbhag, Khalpar, Korchona and Bibidoil surrounding villages under the upazila have to use the 3 km-long link road Eidgah Bazar to Khalopar road and face huge sufferings due to its muddy condition.
Alauddin, an elderly resident of Faridpur village, said public representatives have been giving assurance since liberation that they would build a road there, but they forget the issue after getting elected.
Khairul Afian Chowdhury, chairman of Lalabazar union, said that his parishad has no way to build a long 3 km-long road without funding. He is hopeful that the lawmaker will take steps to get the work done, he added.
