In Pabna’s Bhangura upazila, allegations have surfaced against a contractor for using substandard and burnt brick chips in a road repair project worth about Tk 3.32 crore under the 2025–26 fiscal year rural road maintenance program. The project, covering 3,576 meters from Bheramara Bazar to Hatgram, was awarded to Kushtia-based Saikat Enterprise, with a Pabna sub-contractor reportedly handling the work. The project is scheduled for completion by June 30.
Field visits revealed that after inspection by senior officials, a mix of low-quality and good brick chips continued to be used, with no supervising engineer present on-site. Locals said poor materials had been used from the start and had lodged verbal complaints. LGED Deputy Director Momin Mojibul Haque confirmed the allegations during his inspection and ordered the removal of substandard materials, but the directive was reportedly ignored.
The acting Upazila Nirbahi Officer warned that if the poor-quality materials were not removed, action would be taken against those responsible.
