Chuadanga municipality has been beset with manifold problems, including lack of water, drainage and recreational facilities, depriving residents of civic amenities.

Residents have been suffering because of deplorable condition of roads, constant traffic jam, frequent power failure and absence of adequate streetlights and public toilets.

The municipality, which has now a population of about one lakh, was established in 1972 covering an area of 12 square miles. However, the municipality is now enjoying grade A status.

Most of the roads, lanes and by-lanes in the municipality area remain in pitiable condition, causing much suffering to passengers.

The dilapidated roads are Chuadanga-Belgachi, Chuadanga-Taltala, and Chuadanga-Hazrahati. Besides, the lanes and by-lanes in Farmpara, Court Para, Post Office Para, Bara Bazar Para, Shakratala Para, Emergency Road Para, Mollick Para, Rail Bazaar Para, Jouarder Para, Bara Masjid Para, Kederganj Para, Palash Para, Old Hospital Para, Sadar Hospital Para, Gulshan Para, Shaikh Para, Hoque Para, Sumirdia Para, Satgari Para, Noornagar Para, Hatkaluganj Para, and Budumiar Amm Bagan Para areas are also in bad shape.

Most of these roads and lanes go under water after slight rains. But there is no drainage in the town to solve the recurrent problem.

Traffic jam is a common feature during peak hours on Court, Station, Barabazar and Rupchaya Cinema and Sadar Hospital roads.

Short supply of running water is one of main problems for the town dwellers. The municipality cannot supply running water in Taltala, Hazrahati, Belgachi, Noornagar, Farmpara, Sumirdia, Budumiar Bagan Para, Shanti Para and Hoque Para areas.

There is no public toilet in the district headquarters. As a result, many respond to the call of nature in roadside areas.

There have been no recreational facilities in the town areas excepting two cinemas. There is no park in this town.

Residents also face suffering, as there are no adequate streetlights. Most of the roads plunge into darkness just after sunset.

Local people have urged the authorities concerned to immediate steps to solve the problems in the town.
