Sylhet City Corporation-SCC Administrator Abdul Qayyum Chowdhury has said that the road connecting Darshandeuri near the shrine of Hazrat Shahjalal (R), via Payra to Mirer Moydan in Ward No. 1, is an important communication route in Sylhet city. Many commuters use this road to travel to and from the airport when traffic congestion occurs on the city’s main roads. Therefore, repair work on the road and the drain along the Sylhet-Sunamganj highway will begin shortly.
He added that adverse weather conditions have so far prevented the commencement of the work, but it is expected to start within the next few days. The engineer responsible for the ward has been instructed to inspect all roads and drains in the area and take necessary measures.
He expressed hope that renovation work on various city roads would begin within the next one to two months. Efforts to repair drains and roads will be implemented swiftly to free Sylhet residents from the sufferings caused by waterlogging.
He made these remarks while inspecting the Payra Residential Area–Mirer Moydan Road, Darshandeuri Road, adjacent drains and streams and exchanging views with local residents in Ward No. 1 of Sylhet City Corporation on Tuesday afternoon (June 2).
