Road communication between Kishoreganj district town and the haor-encircled upazila first began through a submerged road. The 17-kilometer Austagram-Bajitpur submerged road, opened in 2014, had to undergo repairs on about 9 kilometers within three years of its construction. Built under the Kishoreganj Roads and Highways Department between 2011-2014 at a cost of 126 crore taka including three bridges, the road goes underwater during the monsoon season.
At present, hundreds of potholes have formed due to concrete and cement peeling off precisely in the repaired sections of this road. As vehicles move slowly through these broken parts and suffer from severe jolting, thousands of people from three upazilas face immense suffering and commute at daily risk.
