Residents of Abdullahpur-Aralia village in Gajaria upazila of Munshiganj are suffering due to the lack of approach roads on both sides of a newly constructed bridge. Despite spending crores of taka and waiting for eight years, the locals cannot use the bridge, and bamboo bridges or boats remain their means of transport.
Although the initiative to construct the 60-meter bridge began in 2018 under LGED, the first contractor stopped work after piling. Later, a second contractor completed the main bridge but left without building the approach roads, rendering the bridge unusable.
Local residents blamed the dilatoriness of the contractors and lack of proper supervision by authorities for this prolonged suffering. They have demanded immediate construction of the approach roads to make the bridge usable.
