A 1.4-crore BDT embankment and guide wall at the Potkhali Ashrayan Project in Barguna Sadar collapsed within six months of construction. Locals allege that the damage was caused by the use of low-quality materials and improper supervision, while implementing agencies cite heavy rainfall and design flaws.
District or Upazila level government authorities
The Upazila Nirbahi Officer has initiated a plan to have the embankment repaired after the rainy season and announced an investigation into alleged construction irregularities.
