Sylhet City Corporation (SCC) Administrator Abdul Qayyum Chowdhury visited the Kadamtali Central Bus Terminal area in South Surma, Sylhet, on Wednesday morning. During the visit, he called on the Roads and Highways Department (RHD) to take immediate steps to repair the main terminal road and its damaged sections. Transport owners and workers informed him about long-standing suffering caused by large potholes and broken road surfaces that disrupt traffic and worsen during rain due to waterlogging.

The SCC administrator stated that the corporation is already working to reduce public suffering through road repair and expansion projects, while prioritizing drainage improvements to prevent waterlogging. He noted that although the road from the terminal to Humayun Rashid Chattar and onward to Mendibag-Kumarpara-Airport falls under RHD jurisdiction, SCC has repeatedly requested its transfer without response. Despite this, SCC will soon fill major potholes and begin necessary repairs considering public hardship.

The visit followed a report and photographs published the previous day highlighting the poor condition of the Kadamtali terminal road, prompting the SCC administrator’s inspection and repair announcement.
