A human chain was organized in Chapainawabganj demanding the cessation of toll collection on the Birshreshtha Captain Mohiuddin Jahangir Bridge. The demonstration took place on Thursday at 11 a.m. in front of the Roads and Highways Department office near the bridge in Rehaichar, led by the Citizens’ Rights Realization Committee. Participants included transport workers, owners, teachers, students, lawyers, and people from various professions.
Speakers at the event stated that tolls have been collected on the bridge since its inauguration in 1993, continuing for 33 years. Despite repeated appeals and submission of memorandums to stop the toll, local authorities have not taken action. They noted that even a recent request by local Member of Parliament Nurul Islam Bulbul to the Road Transport Minister in parliament yielded no result.
The speakers warned that if toll collection continues into the next year, they will launch stricter movements, including road blockades, to press their demand.
