Boalkhali upazila is home to about two and a half lakh people. About thousands of vehicles ply on this route every day. Besides, it is the only bridge connecting South Chittagong with rail. Locals are angry with the poor state of the bridge.
Locals said that small and big accidents are happening almost every day. The development of this bridge has stopped due to lack of government supervision.
Their question, if a major accident happens on the bridge, who will take the responsibility?
