General & industrial transports are badly facing difficulties on the 160km Dhaka-Barisal-Kuakata highway. Also, this is the only road that connects 6 districts of Barisal. Countless ditches & sinks are causing multiple accidents daily.
Drivers complain, such road condition damages their vehicle engines. 1.5 to 2 hours paths take about 7 hours to cross because of all the inconveniences. General people travel at risk. Students complain, the poor condition of roads hampers them to reach school at the right time. Bus Owners Council urges the authorities take a look into this. Road Transport and Highways Division assures of fixing these roads before Eid. Barisal Zone Addition Chief Engineer confirms it.
