Knee-Deep Mud on Jessore-Khulna Highway: Transportation Paralyzed on Key Southern Trade Route

The Jessore-Khulna highway, a crucial commercial artery in southern Bangladesh, has become nearly impassable due to knee-deep mud and massive potholes caused by continuous rainfall. The stretch between Basundia and Chengutia—about 5 kilometers—is particularly hazardous, severely disrupting goods transportation to and from key ports including Benapole land port, Noapara river port, Mongla seaport, and Bhomra land port.
