A crucial need such as road and transportation safety is overlooked by the country. However, this wasn’t the case for VBD - Chattogram District. An area of Kalurghat-Boalkhali road near Kalurghat bridge has been dilapidated for weeks now. Yesterday, at the emergency project "যাত্রা হোক নিরাপদ", volunteers worked for six hours to fix the ditches and potholes that covered part of the road.
The event began at 9am when the District Board President Kaosar Hossain and General Secretary Golam Ishaq gave instructions for the entire layout of the project.
A total of 27 volunteers began clearing water from all over the area. They were divided into two teams - one for bringing the sand and another for filling the potholes with sand.
The same laborious effort continued for an entire truck of bricks, cement and then sand again. After the heavy work by the volunteers, a road roller was brought to compact the newly refined portion of the road.
The project yesterday acted as a memorial in dedication to the lives of our beloved brother and sister volunteers, Nishat, Rafid and Dipta, who died last year during a boat accident.
Transportation safely is extremely necessary, be it for roads and waterways and should never be compromised.
Yesterday’s project has not only renewed the appearance of the road but also reduced the risk for fatal injuries.
VBD - Chattogram District would like to thank Mercy Universe for their financial contribution to the event. The team couldn’t have done it without the distinctive help of VBD - Chattogram District alumni .
Most of these potholes were half a feet deep and were the cause of vehicles tumbling over. These volunteers in yellow shirts were today’s heroes.
A salute to a job well done.
