PM for construction of concrete roads
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday asked the authorities concerned to construct roads with stone, sand and cement instead of bitumen.
“Rains easily damage roads if they are constructed with bitumen. As a result, suffering of the people and costs for reconstruction of roads go up. So, slab-based concrete roads will have to be built,” Hasina told a meeting of Ecnec in its conference room in Dhaka.
State Minister for Finance and Planning MA Mannan briefed journalists after the meeting.
Mannan said the prime minister stressed training for prisoners so that they can acquire necessary skills for work.
“The prisoners will be given a portion of profits to be earned by selling the products to be produced by skilled prisoners and the skilled prisoners would be able to manage jobs after the end of their prison life,” he added quoting the premier.
