Wednesday, 14 May 2014
Communications Minister Obaidul Quader on Wednesday faced an embarrassing situation in Companyganj upazila in Sylhet district as locals stopped his motorcade demanding repairs of the Sylhet-Companyganj road. Witnesses said locals gathered at Tukerbazar in the morning hearing that the minister was going to visit Behal-Sylhet-Companyganj road. When Obaidul reached the spot, the locals intercepted his motorcade by blocking the road around 11:40am. They staged demonstrations on the road at that time. During the demonstrations, the minister, rolling down his car glass, gave a patient hearing to the protesters who informed him of the dilapidated condition of the road for which the people have been suffering for one and half decades, according to a news agency.
