- 2. 2 Md. Abdul Kader; Lecturer in English | Cambrian School & College Risky but Important Bridge Staff reporter; The Daily Star; Gazipur;21 March 2013: The bridge on the river of Turag near Prottasha is a very important one for the people of this locality. There are about fifteen thousand people live in Mudafa. Many people including students have to cross this river every day. Moreover, most of the people of this locality work in the garments factory and every day they have to cross the river Turag by using Prottasha brigde. It had been built in 1994 but now it is very risky to use. The railing of the bridge is almost shattered. The pillars of the bridge seem to be good but the connection road of the bridge is severely damaged. So some repairing work might ensurethe safeuse of this bridgefor few more years. One of the local people said that very often people fall from the bridge into the river when it becomes over crowded. It causes injuries to them but it is life threatening for thosewho cannotswim. The local Chairman knows this problem and seems to be indifferent about the matter. So, the people of this locality think that a little attention of the higher authority for the repairing of this bridge can ensurethe safeuse of this bridge.
