Regarding History of Christening and main purpose of this Road Major General Mia Mohammad Zainul Abedin wrote on his note at “Priyo Chunati Viber” group 

 

Quote “ Ishaque Mia, my beloved father, was the President (UP Chairmen used to be called at that time) of Chunati Union and also a Member of Chunati UP for long. Because of lack of direct road link, the vast eastern parts of the Union comprising villages Patial Para, Chanda, Narischa, Pantrisha and Faranga were detached from mainland Chunati. One had to pass through two other Unions (namely Adhunagar and Putibila) to reach these villages as there was no direct road connectivity. Besides, four big canals namely Hatiya, Chanda, Chambi and Dalu had to be negotiated enroute. Students from these villages had to endure painful hardships to come to Chunati High School and Chunati Madrasah.Transportation of goods, materials and agricultural products to and from these places was a nightmare.

Direct road connectivity with these far flung localities was Ishaque Mia's long chrished dream and Ishaque Mia Road is the realisation of that dream. As recognition of his contributions, Lohagarah Upazila Parishad, through a resolution, proposed to name the road after him. The LGRD Ministry finally was pleased to approve the proposal through a Gazette notification.

The road originates from Munsef Bazar and ends at Faranga. The 9 kilometer long road crisscrosses through hillocks, meadows and vales and presents a unique panoramic scenario. The metalled portion of the road is 24 feet wide with shoulders on both sides. The road is swarmed with school going children in mornings and afternoons. Taking a leisurely stroll along the scenic road is a popular daily past time for the elders. It offers unbound opportunities to explore the untapped economic potentials of Chunati. It has opened a window for investment in agro based economic activities. Numbers of agro farms are mushrooming on both sides of the road. Last but not the least; we won't have to swim across Hatiya Khal any more to go to Football fields in these days of the year. In short, Ishaque Mia Road, with its immense benefits, has transformed the socio-economic conditions of the entire community.” Unquote
