Dhaka-Ctg Highway
Implement 4-lane projects
President of the Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI) Murshed Murad Ibrahim requested the authorities concerned for firm intervention and necessary actions in implementing four lane projects of Dhaka-Chittagong Highway and Karnaphuli River Dredging Project immediately.
In a statement, the CCCI president said Chittagong is the economic hub of the country and major portion of export-import goods are transported to different districts from here via Dhaka-Chittagong Highway.
He mentioned that 70 per cent work of the project of upgrading the highway into four lanes has already been completed, adding but the slow disbursement of the fund, shortage of soil at Chittagong-Feni portion and legal complication about the acquired land are delaying the process.
Ibrahim also urged that the hindrances in accomplishing Karnaphuli River Dredging Project must be removed with prompt decision to turn the port into an international one.
He proposed that the dredged soil can be used in filling up the Dhaka-Chittagong highway extension work.
He also sought earnest and active measures of the authorities concerned to enhance business activities in the district by accomplishing these two projects on priority basis.
