Road at BSCIC area
Road communication from Tongi level crossing to BSCIC industrial area almost came to a standstill because of its deplorable condition. Anybody using the road with his vehicle for the first time will think twice before venturing for the second trip along the road for safety of his valuable transport from premature damage. As one of the busiest outlets from the mega city towards Narshingdi, Bhairab, Ashuganj, Maulvibazr, Sylhet, every day thousands of transports ply this road through Tongi BSCIC industrial area towards different destinations. There has been an under construction flyover over Tongi railway level crossing for the last three years, delayed completion of which now poses a great threat and risk to the road users and pedestrians. Who knows when the construction of the flyover will be complete to the great relief of commuters, pedestrians and vehicle users? Work progress on the flyover is going at a snail's speed but the authorities do not bother about the deteriorating condition of the road under the flyover which is the only alternate way to go to BSCIC and other places. Serious traffic gridlock is a regular phenomenon in this damaged road under the flyover. Incidents of breakdown of transports on the path holes of the road is also a regular feature which make the situation go from bad to worse every day. Instead of reducing public sufferings from traffic congestion with the construction of flyover, inordinate delay in completion of the same added more sufferings to the public.
Condition of road communication inside Tongi BSCIC area is also beyond description. Several ditches and potholes on the main thoroughfares in that area have developed due to negligence of the authorities. To add to the misery, the entire BSCIC area goes under knee-deep water after a slight rainfall posing a great threat to the vehicular movement, and to the great loss of manufacturing industries as a whole. But who cares?
