The woes of the people of Jaldhaka to communicate with district headquarter Nilphamari by road have come to an end with the repairing and widening of 22- km connecting road. Sources of the Road & Highway Department said the condition of the road was very vulnerable and too narrow for trafficking. As a result, people of Jaldhaka and six other upazilas had to experience trouble to communicate with Nilphamari. Therefore, people of the areas demanded repair and widening of the road for many years. Cultural Minister Asaduzzaman Noor inaugurated the repairing and widening works of the road on October 09, 2016. Three construction firms named Mozaha Enterprise, National Civil Engineering and Concord Progoti Ltd have been implementing the project. The repairing and widening works are being implemented under three packages. The first package include widening and repairing on 11 km from Petrol Pump to Kochukata point with the road and the second package from Kochukata to Nilphamari point.
