Rural road network

The Chitaliya-Gayatola LGED road in Shariatpur Sadar Upazila, connecting eight unions and reaching Shibchar Upazila in Madaripur, lays in a deteriorated state. Spanning 6 kilometres and 10 feet wide, it is riddled with potholes and cracks, causing significant inconvenience to commuters. Heavy vehicles avoid this route, while passengers in smaller vehicles face double fares due to its poor condition. Photo: TBS
