Khulna: The bridge of dreams over Pramatta Padma is now fully visible. The main infrastructure of the 6.15 km long Padma Bridge has been completely razed by the construction of a strand at the end of Mawa and Jajira.
Compatriots love it. With the launch of the dream Padma Bridge, it will connect 21 districts in the south. At the same time, the dreams of the inhabitants of this region will be fulfilled. Also, this region will be the most profitable.
Saturday (December 12) Khulna University Vice Chancellor Prof. Mohammad Fayek Uzzaman told banglanews that the Padma Bridge connection is not just a matter of travel, it demonstrates our ability. Bangabandhu said in his historic March 7 speech that no one can oppress the people of Bengal. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has demonstrated this by installing all of the Padma Bridge spans. No conspiracy could stop the construction of the Padma Bridge. This bridge will connect the people of the south with the people of the north and east. At the same time, Khulna will develop as the capital of the southern region.
He said the construction of the bridge was made possible by the Prime Minister’s courage, determination, morale, foresight and strong leadership to overcome all adversities and challenges. Today, the dreamy Padma Bridge has come true. The 41st span of the bridge has now connected the two banks of the Padma and the two large tracts of land in the country. The Padma Bridge is a milestone in development that will be a new source of inspiration for the people of this country.
According to Mamun Aur Rashid, assistant professor, discipline of mass communication and journalism at Khulna University, once the country’s largest bridge is completed, direct connectivity with other districts, including the capital, will be established with the districts of the southwest. . The distance from that part of the country to the capital, Dhaka, will be reduced to an average of 100 km. The construction of this dream bridge will increase the mobility of Mongla, the second largest seaport in the country. Merchants from different parts of the country, including the capital, will be encouraged to export and import goods through the Mongla port in a short period of time. One of the country’s main foreign exchange earning sectors is the jute and frozen fish industry, most of which are exported from Khulna. If the Padma bridge, these revenues will increase even more. Meanwhile, several development projects have boosted the Southwest’s commercial and commercial economy, including Jessore, Khulna, Bagerhat, Satkhira, Jhenaidah, Kushtia, Benapole, Darshana, and Bhomra.
According to the survey, GDP will increase by 1.23 percent if the Padma Bridge project is implemented. And the Southwest’s GDP will increase 2.3 percent. The port of Mongla and the land port of Benapole will have direct communication with the capital and port city of Chittagong. All in all, the Padma Bridge will have an impact on the economy as well as the movement of people will be easier.
Khulna City Corporation (KCC) Mayor Talukder Abdul Khaleq told banglanews that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has fulfilled a dream long cherished by the people of the southern region. Many feared that the Padma Bridge would cease to exist if the World Bank moved. But Bangabandhu’s daughter is implementing it with a challenge. The implementation of such a mega project is being possible thanks to the internal strength of the country, the economic capacity and the determination of the current government. People in the south are now waiting for the Padma Bridge to be launched. Mongla and Khulna will benefit the most if the Padma Bridge is launched. There will be a historic change in the communication system of the entire country, including the people of this region.
Business leaders in the Khulna region say that if the Padma Bridge is built, more tourists will come to Sundarbans. The hotel business will prosper. This region will become a new industrial center. Many garment factories will be established. The real estate business will expand rapidly. Alongside these businesses, other businesses will also develop.
Kazi Aminul Haque, Chairman of the Khulna Chamber of Commerce and Industries, told banglanews that the opening of the Padma Bridge would expand trade and commerce in the Khulna region. New industries will be built. The construction of the Padma Bridge will increase the mobility of Mongla, the second largest seaport in the country. Traders from different parts of the country, including the capital, will be encouraged to export and import goods through Mongla port in a short period of time. The importance of the port of Payra will also increase after the construction of the Padma Bridge. If the necessary modernization is carried out, this port will also be transformed into one of the largest ports across the Padma bridge. Even for Bhutan, eastern Nepal and the southeastern provinces of India, Pigeon will serve as a deep sea port.
