"The project for remodeling Khulna Railway station and yard and development of operational facilities of Benapole railway station was approved by the ECNEC," railway's chief planning officer M Monzurul Islam told the news agency on Sunday.
He said the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) approved the revised detail project proposal (DPP) with Tk 0.75 billion on January 26, as the cost has increased.
