Residents in Algapur, Hailakandi took to the streets on May 14, protesting against the All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) MLA Nizam Uddin Chowdhury for neglecting the development as well as failing to address the road connectivity in char areas.

These protests stems from the longstanding neglect of the Chandipur char, a critical thoroughfare that has fallen into disrepair, severely impacting the daily lives of residents.

The scene of discontent unfolded as locals gathered to voice their grievances, demanding urgent repairs to the Chandipur char. Protesters blocked roads and ignited effigies, expressing their discontent with the perceived inaction of their elected representative. 

The unrest reverberated along the Chandipur – Saraspur Bhaya Bashbari Trolley Road, affecting communities spanning Bashbari, First Block, Second Block, Chandipur Grant, Islampur, and beyond.

At the heart of the matter lies the failure of MLA Nizam Uddin Chowdhury to address the pressing need for infrastructure improvements, despite repeated appeals from constituents. Residents lamented that previous requests for road repairs had yielded no tangible results, exacerbating their frustration and prompting this public demonstration.

The protesters issued a stern ultimatum, stating unless immediate action is taken to initiate repairs on the Chandipur Saraspur trolley road, MLA Nizam Uddin Chowdhury would face vehement opposition in the upcoming elections, with residents vehemently vowing to deny him entry into their communities.
