Poura authority a silent spectator

Civic amenities still a dream at Chapainawabganj

From Our Correspondent
CHAPAINAWABGANJ. Feb 2H : The residents of Cha-pat luiwabganj Pourashava are deprived of minimum civic facilities.
Five years back the Pourashava was four square miles which is now extended up to 9.5 square miles and also upgraded to a class one pourashava.
Hie residents are deprived of facilities due to absence of proper drainage system, paucity of drinking water, inadequate street lights, recreation facilities and deplorable condition of roads.
The waste water remains logged in the drains. Besides, the waste water Is thrown in the Mahananda river which nins through the middle of the town. Most of these drains remain filled with fifth, hyacinth and garbages which are c leaned very rarely and are
turned into mosquito breeding centres.
Duc to reckless dumping of garbages the environment Is getting polluted. On the other hand people of the town arc compelled to use this Impure river water.
The drinking water pipe lines cover only one fifth area of the pourashava and people of other areas are deprived of this facility. The hand tube wells cannot fulfil the mint mum need as most of the tubcwells arc out of order.
After upgradallon to a dis trie! the town has been expanded and establishment of various government and non government offices have taken place but nothing tangible has been done to Improve the health and sanitation.
Moreover, the elec trie lines provided are nol suffi-
cient. Most of the electric poles are without bulb*. As a result large areas of Ihc town remain plunged Into darkness
Recreation facilities arc totally absent tn the area Previously there were two children's parks in front of the Pourashava office which have now converted Into meeting spots for the political parties
The roads are so narrow that it is very difficult for all vehicles to ply smoothly. Pre quent traffic Jams cause road accidents.
The roads of Tohabasar on both sides are occupied by the shop-keepers which create problems for the pedes.-lar*1 and vehicular traffic
Despite all these prublci the pourashava authorities a^ pear to be quite indifferent^ public sufferings ’
