A newly constructed rural road in Magura Union of Kishoreganj upazila, Nilphamari, built at a cost of about 4.5 million taka, has started to deteriorate only seven days after completion. Locals allege that substandard materials, insufficient bitumen, and disregard for construction guidelines led to the rapid damage. The incident has sparked anger and concern among residents.
According to the report, the 1.5-kilometer road from Checkpost to Darzipara village was built under the 2025–26 fiscal year’s rural infrastructure development project by contractor firm Suman Traders. Locals claim the contractor completed the work hastily during public holidays without supervision, skipping proper soil filling and layering of brick chips, sand, and stones. As a result, the road’s durability is now in question.
Magura Union Parishad Chairman Akhtaruzzaman Mithu confirmed that the work was done without oversight, while contractor owner Mosgul Haque denied any wrongdoing. Kishoreganj Upazila Engineer Mahmudul Hasan said the site would be inspected soon and necessary action taken if irregularities are found.
