Pedestrians, vehicle passengers, and local residents have to suffer due to this. Even though this situation has been going on for a long time, there have been complaints that the municipal and market committee authorities have not taken any initiative to solve the problem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the other hand, the water flow of the canal connecting the Dakatia River to Charpata UP is also being obstructed due to garbage. The toxic water gets trapped and causes flooding during the rainy season, and the stench becomes evident during the dry season. Even though the villagers complained, there was no fair solution to the issue of garbage collection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Last Sunday, it was seen on the ground that the sidewalk of the highway is being occupied and piled up by the canal. Every morning, two municipal employees bring their garbage trucks and dispose of the waste through associates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">They said that every day the waste brought from different houses in the municipal area is dumped here. Besides, local businessmen are also dumping their shop and factory waste here.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Khalilur Rahman, a seller of raw materials in Border Bazar, said that one cannot sit in the market because of the stench of garbage. This waste has become the cause of suffering for all the buyers and sellers. People have to walk in an area of half a kilometer from the dumping site with handkerchiefs on their noses and mouths.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hossain Ahmed, convenor of the Raipur Civil Rights Protection Council, said that the residents of the city have been demanding for a long time about proper waste management and not polluting the environment by dumping waste on the side of the highway. The municipality is more than a century and a half old. At this time too, environmental pollution from public service institutions has to be suffered, which is sad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">General Secretary of Charpata Border Bazar Committee Amin Patwari said that there are about 200 business establishments in this market. For two years, under the guidance of upazila chairman Mamunur Rashid and four former mayors, the Raipur municipal authorities have been bringing all the garbage and throwing it here. And the place where garbage is being dumped is the gateway from Chandpur to Raipur and Lakshmipur. There are several institutions around it. Human rights are being violated in this incident.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Local people have protested several times a year against the dumping of garbage on the side of the highway, but to no avail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sakil Hossain and Akhter Hossain, drivers of Shahi Paribahan operating on the Chittagong-Raipur-Chandpur road, said that on the way back from Chandpur, dirt is often lying on the road. In the Borderbazar area, the pavement of the road is occupied by dirt. Passengers are about to suffocate due to stench.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zahirul Islam, Executive Engineer of Laxmipur Roads and Public Ways (Soaz) Department, said that the Raipur municipal authorities are dumping garbage on the side of the highway without permission. I am very uncomfortable with it. There is a problem with the movement of vehicles due to littering on a part of the road. I have informed the municipal authorities and traders. The issue has been raised several times in the district development coordination meeting. This issue will be raised in the next coordination meeting. The municipal authorities have repeatedly promised to solve this problem, but nothing has been done.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Raipur Municipal Secretary Abdul Quader said that the municipality has no place to dump garbage. After a lot of searching, finally a place has been arranged in an abandoned place next to the canal in Borderbazar under the guidance of former mayors, he said. Now ADC sir, as administrator, will look into the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laxmipur Correspondent: Raipur-Laxmipur-Chandpur regional highway along the border bazar area along with local businessmen have been dumping waste for years.
