The Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Monday placed a 3-point set of recommendations for ensuring ease of commuters by road during the Eid vacation to the authorities concerned.
CCCI senior vice president Mahabubul Alam in a press statement said, 'The Dhaka-Chittagong Highway has developed numerous potholes and puddles. The roads and streets in Chittagong city are no exceptions. The Bahadderhat-Karnaphuli Bridge, Chawkbazar-Muradpur Road, Agrabad-Airport Road, Kuaish-Oxygen Road, and roads
in Halishahar have
already become unfit for vehicular movement. In this context, the Chittagong Development Authority and the Chittagong City Corporation will have to repair the dilapidated roads jointly before August 26 to ease the sufferings of the commuters.'
The statement also reads, 'The initiatives taken by the Chittagong Metropolitan Police and the government on the occasion of the Eid are laudable but not sufficient. So, to ensure the security of commuters by roads and highways, waterways,
and railways, the government should deploy more highway and railway police along with Coast Guard members. Moreover, the law-enforcement agencies should beef up security at shopping malls. Security also has to be tightened in industries, commercial institutions, markets, and offices before and after the Eid.'
