European Standard Mahalchhari – Sindukchhari - Jalliapara Road


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. Mahalchhari-Sindukchhari-Jalliapara of the Ministry of Road Transport and 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.

 

Thanks,
