To maintain the quality of healthcare being provided at Mugda Medical College and Hospital, quick steps should be taken to repair the road to a usable condition.
Changing his earlier statement that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will hold dialogue with political parties that joined talks before the election, Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader yesterday said the PM will invite parties only to exchange post-election greetings with them.
Within a year of completion, overloaded lorries and high number of vehicles plying have created ruts on the expanded Dhaka-Chattogram highway.
With a third of Ramadan gone, many have started wondering how their holiday trip home would be. Some fear that their journeys on roads would not be easy and their fears are not unfounded.
Lawmakers expressed deep resentment over the road conditions in the country and said it hurt their image.
Conversion work of two major highways into dual carriageways is in the final stage and it will boost trade and travel in a major way. Travel times will be cut drastically once the work of broadening the highways, Dhaka-Chittagong and Dhaka-Mymensingh, is finished this June. There have been delays stretching into years in the completion of the projects. Costs also went up considerably, but the works are expected to be completed by middle of this year.
With the advent of monsoon, muddy and slushy potholes plague several streets of the capital.
