Emon Khan, Munshiganj District correspondent:
The sand-bearing bulkhead got stuck with the bridge at Sirajdikhan in Munshiganj. Last Monday afternoon, the sand-carrying bulkhead along the bridge over the Ichhamati branch river near Basail Bazar in Basail Union of the upazila got stuck while going under. This caused plaster to fall on many parts of the bridge.
After that, the villagers detained the bulkhead. When they informed the Upazila LGED office, the upazila engineer visited and detained the bulkhead with the key with the help of a local UP member.
It is known that the previous bridge collapsed in 2016 due to the push of sand-carrying bulkhead. Later, the Upazila LGED office started construction of a new bridge with a length of 30 meters at a cost of Tk 2 crore 17 lakh 35 thousand 975 on August 30, 2018. And it ended in 2021.
Basail village resident said. Tushar Khan said that the bridge at this place had broken in the sand-carrying bulkhead even before. This time again the new bridge damaged another sand-carrying bulkhead today. The plaster of the bridge has fallen in many parts. The administration should take action now against this illegal bulkhead. If this bridge breaks down year after year. But there is no end to our suffering. So we demand the administration to take appropriate action. And I have informed the Upazila Nirbahi Officer about this by phone. He told me he would take action.
