Jamuna Bridge
The news item published in The Daily Star on 27 August 2010 captioned “Govt seek further opinion of Prof Reza about cracks” caught my attention. South Korean Hyundai Ltd built Jamuna Bridge with an expected lifespan of 100 years .But cracks have developed within 5 years of its construction. The govt is now going to give the task of repairing the bridge to a Chinese firm at a cost of Tk 165 crore. I want to know from our honourable FM why HEC(Hyundai Engineering and Construction) Co Ltd is not being asked for paying compensation as per the agreement? Or should we guess that Tk 165 crore is no amount to the govt? Above all, we are the general people who have to pay toll to use the bridge.
