In Mirzapur of Tangail, a newly constructed 460-meter road has started to deteriorate just seven days after completion. Locals reported that the asphalt layer is peeling off under vehicle pressure, creating small potholes and causing the surface to sink. The road, stretching from the Gorai Flyover area through Jorpukur Par to Bongerteki Green City, was built by Bismillah Enterprise at a cost of 1.475 million taka. The construction was carried out hastily during adverse weather, and rain began before the asphalt could properly dry.

Residents alleged that the contractor did not clean the old surface before applying the new asphalt and used substandard materials with insufficient bitumen. These factors, combined with the rain, reportedly led to the rapid damage. The Upazila Engineer of Mirzapur LGED, Monirul Saj Rizon, confirmed awareness of the damage and stated that no payment has been made to the contractor yet.

He added that the bill will not be released until the damaged sections are properly repaired, indicating possible rework before final approval.
