Heartiest congratulations to the PM, the technical team and workers, and the people of Bangladesh, on Padma Bridge's opening.

Bangladesh Bank has released commemorative notes of Tk 100 on the occasion of the long-cherished Padma Bridge opening tomorrow (June 25, 2022).

The Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman nurtured a lifelong dream to build his “Golden Bengal” free of hunger, poverty, and discrimination. To that end, he adopted a plan to construct bridges over mighty rivers in post-independence Bangladesh.

The Russian Embassy in Dhaka today said Padma Bridge is a game changer as it offers multiple opportunities in terms of regional trade, investments, connectivity, employment, tourism, and many other fields.

The government will build the Padma bridge with its own funds and construction work will begin in the current fiscal year, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced in parliament yesterday.
