Throwing sub-standard sand bags to protect erosion of River Dudhkumar at Bhurungamari upazila in Kurigram poses risk to the Pateswari Bridge on the river and adjoining roads, according to locals.
Local sources said that the authority of Water Development Board in Kurigram had taken initiative to protect the bridge and adjoining roads from erosion of River Dudhkumar with 25000 sand bags.
The local people alleged that sand bags of 50kgs packed with old cement and fertiliser were being thrown to protect erosion instead of 150kgs sand bags with new synthetic bag.
The most of the sub-standard sand bags were being damaged soon after throwing, the locals alleged.
The locals lodged complaint to the Bhurungamari upazila nirbahi officer regarding sub-standard sand bags.
The Bhurungamari UNO, Md Hamidul Haque, along with vice-chairman Jalal Uddin, visited the spot on Tuesday and ordered for not throwing the sub-standard sand bags.
Assistant engineer of the project, Mohibul Alam, told New Age that he had already ordered to stop such kind of sub-standard work.
