Advisor to the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges, Muhammad Fawzul Kabir Khan, himself realized the severity of the traffic jam when, after being stuck in Ashuganj, Brahmanbaria for three hours, he finally went to Sarail Bishwa Road on a motorcycle to inspect the fragile condition of the road.
On Wednesday (October 8), upon reaching the Sarail Bishwa Road intersection at around 1 pm, he told reporters, “You cannot understand the real condition of this highway by sitting and working in Dhaka.” He also gave strict instructions to 12 senior officials of the Ministry of Roads and Bridges to directly perform their duties at the temporary office in the Bishwa Road area of Brahmanbaria. He clearly said, “If they neglect or are not found in the office, they will be suspended.” Traffic department responsible for traffic jam: Advisor Muhammad Fauzul Kabir Khan blamed the weakness and negligence of the traffic department’s management for this terrible traffic jam. He said that the Home Advisor has also been contacted in this regard and steps will be taken to find an effective solution in a joint initiative soon. Flyover plan on Bishwa Road: The advisor said that a flyover plan has been taken to solve the long-term problem at Bishwa Road intersection. He instructed the concerned engineers to finalize the design and implement the project quickly. Pressure on railways due to traffic jam, solution soon: To a question from journalists, he admitted that pressure on railways has increased due to the poor condition of the road. However, he assured, “This problem will be solved as soon as possible.” The story behind the incident: From train to motorcycle! The advisor reached Bhairab on Wednesday morning as part of a road inspection. From there, he reached Ashuganj by car and started his journey towards Sarail Bishwa Road at 10:15 am. But the car came to a standstill due to heavy traffic jams in Sohagpur, Sonarampur and Bertala areas. The car moved only 40 meters in two hours. Considering the situation, the advisor himself left the car and reached Bishwa Road on a motorcycle. At that time, Brahmanbaria Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Didarul Alam, Superintendent of Police Ehteshamul Haque, and several officials of the Ministry of Roads and Bridges were with him.
