Important road development projects should not be in incompetent hands
Around 657 kilometres of 153 roads in Sylhet and Suamganj have been submerged due to flood as the water of the river Surma and Kushiyara is still flowing above the danger level.
The Roads and Highways Department is going to establish a dedicated Road Operation Unit (ROU) to manage and monitor the Joydebpur-Rangpur highway efficiently.
Slow pace of data collection by field officials is holding back the Roads and Highways Department’s (RHD) initiative to create a database for automatically assessing the condition of bridges and culverts and suggesting remedial actions.
Around 25 percent roads under the Roads and Highways Department (RHD) across the country are in “poor, bad or very bad” condition, and fixing those would require Tk 10,679 crore in the current fiscal year, an RHD survey has found.
Ebne Alam Hasan, chief engineer of Roads and Highways Department (RHD), has been given “Integrity Award” for 2018-19 fiscal year for his performance in the outgoing fiscal.
