Joy | Padma Setu Padma Bridge with my money, Padma Bridge for my country: Joy
Own Correspondent, Dhaka, June 16: Sajeeb Wazed Joy, son of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her ICT advisor, said the Padma Bridge is a symbol of dignity. The future of Bangladesh is majorly depending on it.
Joy made the remarks on Tuesday (June 14) night by sharing a video on the mega project on his verified Facebook account.
"Padma Bridge is not just an engineering masterpiece but a symbol of pride and dignity of Bangladesh as well. All the people of this country equally share this glory," Joy wrote in his post.
"This bridge has connected around one-third of the country's land area, entangled with rivers, to the capital. Consequently, it will catalyze the local and international trades of Bangladesh. In addition to transforming the economic footing of around 50 million people of the South-west part of the country, it will also ensure a rise in the national income by at least 1.5 percent, a paradigm shift for the entire Bangladesh. The future of Bangladesh hinges much on this bridge," he wrote.
Joy further wrote in his post: "Padma bridge stands majestically above the river marked with one of the strongest currents in the world. Braving a spectrum of challenges, we have finally executed this self-funded project. It's your and my hard-earned money that contributed to this success."
"It was beyond the imagination of the world that a developing country in South Asia could handle this masterpiece structure with its own fund. But, Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's indomitable courage and vision made this happen. Now this success story of Bangladesh is acclaimed all across the planet. Padma Bridge, awaiting a awe-inspiring inauguration on June 25, symbolizes the dignity of Bangladesh on the global stage," he added.
In conclusion, Sajeeb Wazed Joy wrote: "Padma Bridge with my money, Padma Bridge for my country."
