We came to know from the report of The Daily Star on 19.12.12 that the government has approved the elevated metro rail project at a cost of Tk 21,985 crore. The amount will be provided jointly by the JICA and the government to improve the transport system as well as ease traffic in the capital. The government also took up a plan to build an elevated expressway in line with the suggestion put forward in the city's suburban transport strategy. The 20-kilometre Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)Line-6 will begin from Uttara third phase and pass through Pallabi, Rokeya Sarani, Farmgate, Sonargaon hotel, Ruposhi Bangla hotel, TSC of Dhaka University and Bangladesh Bank. We want to see transparency in the implementation of this project.
