A culvert constructed in Yusufpur village of Patuakhali under the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief at a cost of Tk 2.78 million has remained largely unusable due to the absence of a connecting road. Despite the structure being completed long ago, no access road has been built, leaving residents facing severe hardship. Locals from Yusufpur and nearby villages are forced to navigate knee-deep mud and walk along a narrow embankment to get by. Md. Moksedul Alam, Project Implementation Officer of Kalapara Upazila, stated that work on the connecting road is planned to begin soon and residents will benefit shortly.
