A decades-old bridge at the entrance of Rameswar village under Chatiain union in Madhabpur upazila has become a death trap due to lack of repairs. The RCC casting has chipped off, exposing worn-out bricks and broken iron rods, while 10,000 to 15,000 people cross it at risk every day.
Due to this poor condition, farmers cannot easily transport their crops to the market, and carrying agricultural inputs is hindered, negatively impacting local livelihoods. Patients also face immense suffering when being taken to hospitals.
To prevent accidents, villagers have submitted an application to the local Member of Parliament demanding a new bridge. LGED Engineer Shams Javed stated that the site will be inspected and necessary steps, including sending a proposal to higher authorities, will be taken.
