Locals say that the attraction of this road will be its natural beauty. Along the entire route bordering Indian Meghalaya, there will be mountain ranges, clear water streams of the Piain and Dhalai rivers, and rural towns surrounded by greenery. On the way, a visitor will see the white-stoned river, the rocky water flow of Bichnakandi and the unique beauty of the Dauki River in Jaflong. The beauty of this road will increase further with mountain waterfalls and clouds during the monsoon.

Local public representatives and residents have also welcomed the project. Chairman of North Ronikhai Union Parishad No. 5 Md. Faizur Rahman said that if its implemented, the image of the rural villages along the border will change.

Ahmed Ali, BNP president of the same union, said that along with tourism, there will be positive changes in travel, business and trade and local market systems.
