Members of the Kuril Tiles and Sanitary Market Owners and Employees Association organized a human chain at Kuril World Road in Dhaka, demanding the construction of a bridge connecting Bhola and Barishal. The demonstration, held on Wednesday afternoon near Jamuna Future Park, urged the interim government to take immediate steps toward building the bridge to reduce travel difficulties between the two districts. Speakers argued that despite Bhola supplying gas nationwide, the district remains isolated from the mainland, which contradicts the vision of an equitable Bangladesh. They emphasized that the proposed Bhola-Barishal bridge would enhance communication, industrialization, and tourism in the region. In addition to the bridge, protesters also called for establishing a medical college, a public university, gas-based industries, and sustainable embankments and marine drive roads to prevent river erosion in Bhola.
