Prime Minister's ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy has said Padma Bridge is a symbol of pride and dignity of Bangladesh, reports UNB.
"Padma Bridge is not only an engineering masterpiece but also a symbol of pride and dignity of Bangladesh. All the people of this country equally share this glory," he said Friday night sharing a video from his verified Facebook account.
Joy said the future of Bangladesh hinges much on this bridge.
This bridge has connected around one-third of Bangladesh's land area, entangled with rivers, to the capital, he said.
Consequently, Joy said, it will catalyse the local and international trades of Bangladesh.
It will also ensure a rise in the national income, meaning GDP, by at least 1.5 per cent, a paradigm shift for the entire Bangladesh, he said.
