Last year, The Engineering Corps of
the Bangladesh Army has constructed a new 15.5 km long hill road from Guimara
in Khagrachhari to Mahalchhari. Using
this road, people of Rangamati, Khagrachhari and Bandarban districts will now
be able to move fast across the country including Dhaka without entering
Chittagong city. This will save three hours for the people of Rangamati to
reach Dhaka. The path will be reduced to 68 kilometers.

Bridges
The road was constructed by 20
Engineer Construction Battalion under the supervision of 34 Engineers
Construction Brigade of Bangladesh Army. The construction work started in
February 2019 and will be completed by December 2021, but it was completed in
June 2021. As a result, although not officially inaugurated, the road has been
opened to public traffic.
The main carpeting road is 18 feet
wide. Outside, the hard solder (brick road on both sides) is about 11 feet. The
road has 24 km side drain, 28 m culvert, 410 m gravity wall, 630 m retaining
wall and 800 m parasiding.
Mahalchhari-Sindukchhari-Jalliapara
road construction project director and 20 ECB captain Lt. Colonel Md. Amjad
Hossain Didar said that the time and distance of inter-regional communication
between Khagrachhari and Rangamati region will be greatly reduced through this
road. The transportation and marketing of goods produced in the hilly areas
will be much faster and will contribute to the expansion of the tourism
industry. He said that at every stage of the construction project, emphasis is
laid on carrying out development work without cutting down the hills and
without harming the environment. The road will also be helpful in working on
regional and internal security issues.
Major SM Khaledul Islam, project
officer of the Mahalchhari-Sindukchhari-Jalliapara road construction project,
said advanced engineering and technology have been utilized at every stage of
the road construction. Advanced construction materials have been used. The
people of the area will get the benefits.
The new road has gone through the
green hills. Green vegetables planted on zoom farms on both sides and farms are
growing. Many local Bengalis and hill families went out to walk on the road. A
young man named Chapal Chakma said that there is a road to Khagrachhari through
Mahalchhari. That is very inaccessible. The people of the area are very happy
because of the new road.
