MANIKGANJ, April 27, 2025 (BSS) - The people of Kusherchar in Nabagram Union and Manikganj Municipality formed a human chain at "Kusherchar Kheyaghat" today, demanding the construction of a bridge over the Kaliganga River at the Kusherchar point to ensure smooth communication for the area's residents.

People from all walks of life, including students and teachers, participated in the human chain under the auspices of the Kusherchar United Club.

On the occasion, a meeting was held at the Kusherchar Kheyaghat point, presided over by Juwel Rana, president of Kusherchar United Club.
Manikganj District BNP's former Organising Secretary Rafiq Uddin Bhuiyan, District Joint Convener Masud Parvej, former councillor of Manikganj Municipality Abu Mohammad Nahid, and Manikganj Municipality Swechchhasebak Dal leader Murad Hossain also addressed the meeting.

The speakers said Kusherchar Kheyaghat is the most important point connecting Manikganj Municipality and Nabagram Union. 

Thousands of people, including school-going children, cross the Kaliganga River every day by boat, which becomes particularly risky during the rainy season.
