To ensure smooth and continuous all-weather road communication, the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina approved a Taka 5,651.13 crore project.
The project aims to construct an elevated road from the Mithamoin upazila headquarters to Karimganj upazila under the Kishoreganj district.
The approval came from a meeting of the ECNEC held on Tuesday at the NEC Conference Room in the city’s Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area.
Planning Minister MA Mannan told reporters after the meeting that a total of 11 projects at a total estimated cost of Tk 10,640.58 crore had been approved during the ECNEC meeting.
“The government of Bangladesh would contribute Tk 7,827.50 crore to the entire cost, while Taka 2,880.18 crore will be provided as project support.”
Six of the 11 projects that were approved are new, while five have been revised.
