“Besides, the foundation plaque of a Meghna Bridge will be laid in 2024 to improve connectivity between Shariatpur and Chandpur,” Enamul said while addressing at a biannual meeting of Shariatpur Journalists’ Association, Dhaka at a city hotel.
Shamim said once there was no a ‘pucca road’ (metalled road) in the district. Late veteran Awami League leader Abdur Razzaq used to work to develop the district’s roads and infrastructure.
“We want to develop the education and infrastructure of Shariatpur. We want to work together and hence need support from journalists as well,” he said.
