Miseries at Rupsha Ghat

Every year from August to October, Rupsha Ghat in Khulna faces a severe water logging problem. People have to wade to and from boats. During high tide, people have to walk through knee-deep water folding their pants and holding their shoes. Sometimes water rises up to the waist. Women suffer much more.

The pontoons of both sides of the ghat are old and in deplorable condition. They may collapse anytime, causing serious accidents.  The ghat authority collects toll but does not care about the sufferings of the people. We want them to take immediate actions to alleviate the miseries of the people.
