Chinese firm gets Padma Bridge work

Communications Minister Obaidul Quader on Monday said China Major Bridge Engineering Company got the main construction work of the much-talked-about Padma Multipurpose Bridge. He came up with the disclosure while addressing a discussion at Awami League President’s Dhanmondi political office in the city. Jubo Mohila League, an AL’s associate body, organised the discussion marking the Homecoming Day of AL president Sheikh Hasina. Obaidul Quader said the technical evaluation committee awarded the work to China Major Engineering Company after scrutinising all the tender bids. The work order will be given to the company within the next three weeks, according to a news agency.
