Dhalghata a Remote Locality: School Inspection

A journey through Dalghata Union

Dated: 14/06/2015

Dhalghata is the remotest area of Moheshkhali upazila. After the devastating mass-upsurge/Cyclone of 1991, the locality has become destructed and devoid of people. On 13^th instant, I went to watch the some on going Employment Generational Projects there. The day was rainy and the weather was rough. It is known to all that it is quite difficult to move  from here and there as there is no alternative, but walking through muddy roads. I also visited the four government primary schools of Dhalghata. I started my journey from Shapmardale acroosing the Khulia River from Kalarmachara. Before that I started my jouney from Chakaria to Baderkhali Bridge at about 8 pm. From Baderkhali Bridge, Mr. Moksud Ahmed; Head teacher-in-charge of Sharoitala Government Primary accompanied me.  We reached at Kalarmarchara Government Primary School at about 9.15 am and stayed about half an hour at the school. I visited the school and then we started our journey to Dhalghata. Reaching at Shapmaradale Government Primary School, I visited and talked to the teachers and students of the school. I stayed about an hour at the school and started for watching Akhtaruzzaman member`s project from Sutariadale to Shapmarardale. While we reached at the middle of the road, the rain started with strong wind and we had to take shelter at a small hut, built there for collecting aids for the nearby mosque which is famous for its miraculous characteristics. After waiting about half an hour, we started again for Sutariardale and finally reached at Sutaria Bazar. There I met some of the leaders and elites of the area. I exchanged views about the implementation progress of EGP projects with them. Then, I went to visit the Sutariardale Government Primary School. At the School I stayed about two hours and inspected it. I took my lunch there and started for Sharoytala Government Primary School. The road to he school was quite slippy and I had to go there through fighting against serious slippy mud. However, I visited the school for about half an hour. The conditions of this school is very painful and the teaching-learning activities of the school is going on quite difficult situations. From there I started for watching another EGP project  of Karima member and did it through a painful muddy road on which I was facing a critical condition of walking. At a time I crossed the road watching another EGP Project Bonzabill and reached at the Muhurighuna Government Primary School. I inspected the school for about an hour and then I started for Matarbari. Mr. Abul Hossain; Head teacher of Dakkkin Mogdale Government Primay School took me on his Motor-bike from Sairardale and he reached me at Rajghat Government Primary School at about 6 p.m. At about 6-45 pm, I started for Coxsbazar through Chakaria by CNG. After coming Chakaria Bus Terminal, I rode on Coxline to Coxsbazr and reached at Coxsbazar at about 8.15 pm. In fact, I am at a Training Course at PTI Coxsbazar for 10 days. It was started on 06/06/2015 and will end tomorrow. The journey to Dhalghata for me was almost adventurous in my recent time. I have not been done so hard work other than making journey to Dhalghata after coming from Rajasthali Upazila of Rangamati on the last 12^th February of 1013 last to Coxsbazar.  The journey had given me much pains, but important for being my cup of tea and it will remain in my memory for long.
