Retaining improvements of Chittagong port
December 16, 2009 00:00:00
The great significance of the Chittagong port for the national economy should be obvious. Only from running it efficiently leading to cutting down on handling time at different stages, substantially better earnings and security of the country's export trade can be achieved and optimum gains, be made made from import operations. In this context, the recent media reports about the vested interests reactivating themselves to stage a comeback there are disturbing.
The policy planners at the highest level of the government should appreciate the very great importance of taking hard steps to absolutely retain the improvements which were painstakingly achieved during the time of the last caretaker government. Not only that, they should follow the same up with even more resolved actions for the attainment of the highest capacities of this port.
