Prime Minister's ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy has said Padma Bridge is not just an engineering masterpiece but a symbol of pride and dignity of Bangladesh as well, reports UNB.
"All the people of this country equally share this glory. The future of Bangladesh hinges much on this bridge," he wrote while sharing a video from his verified Facebook account on the mega project.
Since independence, the people of the entire southern region have been required to risk life for crossing the river throughout the year. "But that risky journey seems to end on June 26 as the Awami League government has bridged your dream with reality, building a bridge to make your journey safer, easier, faster and hassle-free," Joy said.
Padma Bridge stands majestically above the river marked with one of the strongest currents in the world. Braving a spectrum of challenges, "we have finally executed this self-funded project," he said.
"It's your and my hard-earned money that contributed to this success. Padma Bridge with my money, Padma Bridge for my country," he added.
It was beyond the imagination of the world that a developing country in South Asia could handle this masterpiece structure with its own fund, Joy said.
