AMTALI, BARGUNA, Dec 11: People of six villages in Amtali Upazila of the district demanded two metalised bridges in place of two bamboo pathways.
They are using two bamboo pathways over Charakgachhia and Arpangasia canals at Arpangasia Union in the upazila.
About 5-7 years back, one bamboo pathway of 100 metre was raised over Charakgachhia Khal in front of Sattar Master Baari. About 4,000 people of Charakgachhia, Baliatali and Sombaria villages use it.
There is Charakgachhia Salehia Dwinia Madrasa on the other end of the canal. Children have to go to madrasa taking risk on the bamboo pathway. Also hundreds of villagers go to Amtali Sadar and Arpangasia every day. Patient taking to hospital, crossing the bridge, is hampered.
A Charakgachhia Village dweller Mawlana Sharif Muhibullah said, "We demand a bridge at the point."
An iron bridge over the Arpangasia Canal collapsed two years back. Later on, locals raised a 200 metre bamboo pathway at the point. It is used by about 2,000 people of Satdhara, Arpangasia and Patakata villages. Students of Amtali Government Primary School use the bridge.
Student Sumaiya said, "We get it hard to pass the bridge. The suffering goes higher in the rainy season."
A local Rahima Begum said, "It will be helpful for us if a bridge is constructed here."
Arpangasia Union Chairman SoheIi Parvin Mala said, it is urgent to construct two bridges at these two points.
Amtali Sadar Upazila Chairman, "We demand a bridge over the Arpangasia Canal for public communication facility."
Amtali Upazila LGED Engineer Abdullah al Mamun said, proposals have been sent for constructing two bridges. After fund allocation, their construction will begin, the official added.
