In stark contrast to picturesque grey mountains in the background, this road in tourist town Jaflong of Sylhet only leaves a negative impression in the minds of tourists. The Sylhet-Jaflong-Bollaghat road has been in this state for nearly five years now. Large potholes make it immensely difficult for travellers to use this road even during the dry season. Their sufferings worsen during the monsoon when the road turns into a pool of muddy water. The picture was taken on Sunday near Mamar Dokan area. Photo: Sheikh Nasir
