The inauguration of the Bangabandhu Tunnel, under the Karnaphuli river, will be done in two segments, Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said on Wednesday.
“As it has two tubes, the first tube will be inaugurated in October and the other in November. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is expected to inaugurate both the tubes of the tunnel,” he said.
The minister revealed this information while speaking at a programme, organised by the Bangladesh Secretariat Reporter’s Forum (BSRF) at the Secretariat in Dhaka.
BSRF general secretary Masudul Haque presided over the dialogue chaired by its president Tapan Biswas.
