Give Kamalapur ICD terminal to shipping ministry

A parliamentary body today proposed that management of the Kamalapur ICD (inland container depot) terminal be handed over to the Ministry of Shipping for better management and operation.

The parliamentary standing committee on the Ministry of Shipping made the recommendations at its meeting at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.

In the meeting, Mostafa Kamal, senior secretary of the ministry, said the ICD terminal is now jointly operated by railways and shipping ministries, which often causes delays in its operation.

He also said the single-handed operation of the ICD terminal by the shipping ministry will bring pace to its activities.
