Sandwaip

Four lakh people of Sandwip island travel on the Chattogram-Sandwip naval route facing immense sufferings every day. The Zila Parishad plays no role in improving the quality of service at the ghats of the route, although it collects Tk90,000 a day leasing out the route. A vicious cycle is prolonging the crisis only to loot the people’s money by taking them hostage. Photo: TBS.
