Deep seaport


The recent decision by the communication adviser is shocking and undesirable to the citizens of Bangladesh who long for economic prosperity. The deep seaport is an incremental approach and there are lots of support to construct this valuable money making port in our country. Even the multinational institutions have shown interest in this great idea. The World Bank, Japan and IDB and others have also shown interest to finance this initiative. It is said that if the port is completed even partially, it will help augment our GDP by 1 to 2 percent a year which will be a great development to our country.

So, I would appeal to the communications adviser to go forward with construction of the seaport in the greater interest of the country.
