Allegations of irregularities have arisen at the very beginning of the Chhatak-Gobindaganj road widening and modernization project in Sunamganj. The leading contractor, Orient Trading and Builders Limited, started the work about a month ago. The project involves two lanes from Gobindaganj to the Chhatak Surma Bridge intersection and four lanes from there to Chhatak Bazar, with a total cost of 174 crore Taka for both sections.
It is alleged that 20,000 blocks are being made in the Madhabpur Lalpul area using broken building concrete, low-quality sand, and cement mixed with dead red stones from Sharfintila. Additionally, complaints have been made that the road is being filled with muddy soil and fill earth placed over garbage without any supervision or signboard. Locals fear parts of the road could collapse with slight rain.
Meanwhile, allegations have surfaced regarding the illegal extraction of muddy soil and fill sand from agricultural land and rivers. A syndicate led by Chamak Ali is reportedly supplying this soil and sand. However, Chamak Ali denied the allegations against him, stating that he is only involved in the soil filling work.
