Lok Sabha MP Abu Taher Khan’s Zero Hour mention on the demand for funds to improve the conditions of roads in his constituency in areas bordering Bangladesh, which come under the Border Area Development Programme
Thank you, honourable chairperson sir. My constituency is Murshidabad. In my constituency, the BADP roads are in a dilapidated condition. The roads that are under the Border Area Development Project scheme exhibit significant deterioration. In Jolongi, Domkol, Raninagar, Karimpore, and Bhagabangola- the huge expanse of almost 150 kilometres which borders Bangladesh has roads which are characterized by extensive infrastructural degradation. For the last five years, the grant money for the maintenance of this road has not been provided by the central government. I demand the immediate allocation of funds to carry out the maintenance work on these roads.
