Harun, Shariatpur: More than 200 families of Damgaria village of Vedgaon upazila`s Chaygaon union are suffering endlessly for only 800 meters of road. Weeping in the rainy season and dusting in the summer, from the house of Safi Uddin Sardar to the house of Quddus Master, 2,000 people of the area are constantly suffering to get on the paved road of Bangla Bazar-Bijhari.

The local Chaygaon Union Parishad filled up the land through a job creation project and the road became submerged in rain water. Locals have sought the intervention of Shariatpur-3 MP Alhaj Nahim Razzak to repair the road. According to the locals, the dream of Swanirvar Shariatpur, the worthy son of the national hero Alhaj Abdur Razzak, the architect of modern Shariatpur, if our MP Saheb wants, if the road is constructed through the Upazila or District Local Government Engineering Department, the long suffering of the locals will be alleviated.

Abul Kashem Bepari, a freedom fighter from Damgaria village, said 50 years of independence were passing. The country has undergone tremendous development. Although we are now on the development highway, our village is struggling year after year for only half a kilometer of road. Due to this flood, the road has become completely impassable.

College student Nahid said we have to go after the towel for a little bit of road. Although the roads around the country are paved, we travel through extreme hardships as this road in our village is not paved.

Shafiuddin Sardar, a local businessman, said that about 3,000 people from 200 families in our village had to be left behind just for this piece of road. We are lagging behind in all activities including education and medicine. If only 800 meters of road is permanently paved, we can travel directly to the village by car. We wish the attention of the Upazila Chairman and all the officials including Hon`ble MP in this regard.
