Shipping Minister Shajahan Khan has promised to build a new land port at the Chakdhala border in the hill tracts district of Bandarban’s Naikhongchhari Upazila.
“The present government has constructed ten land ports in several parts of Bangladesh over the past ten years” Khan said regarding the possibility of building the new port.
Speaking at a progamme on Friday (Sept 9) the minister said, “Myanmar’s cooperation is also required to build the port as customs facilities will need to be set up at the border.”
According to Khan, Bangladesh has developed significantly since the current government has come to power.
He has urged the public to vote for Awami League for the country’s progress to continue.
