An isolated Hamlet amidst Ashulia’s industrial landscape
Surrounded by the winding Bansi River, several villages in Ashulia resemble a lush green island—cut off from the rest of the region. Whether it's monsoon or winter, the river coils around the settlements like a snake, isolating them. In the dry season, three bamboo bridges connect the villages to the mainland. These makeshift structures are the only passage for people, livestock, and even small vehicles. But during the monsoon, mechanized boats or trawlers become the only way to cross, as heavy currents and rainfall make life even harder. Despite long-standing demands for a bridge, this vital location continues to be overlooked by elected representatives. As a result, the local people are left with little more than sighs of frustration.
