Today, the 100-kilometer railway line from Dohazari to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, is being officially opened by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. This is the first rail connection to the southeast coast of the country and will mark the beginning of a new era for trade and connectivity in the area.
The railway line is part of the government’s ambitious plans to develop the region and attract investment. The new rail line will reduce travel time between Cox’s Bazar and other parts of the country, making it easier and more affordable for tourists and businesses to visit the region, say stakeholders.
Sheikh Hasina, also the Awami League president, is scheduled to inaugurate 15 projects and lay the foundation stones of four other projects including a 14.3km channel of the Matarbari deep-sea port.
According to the notification of the deputy commissioner, on this day, the prime minister will inaugurate 15 projects including railways, and lay the foundation stones of four projects worth about Tk88,000 crore.
She is supposed to address a rally at 2:30 pm in Moheshkhali’s Matarbari. To welcome the PM, major strategic points of Cox’s Bazar town and two sides of the roads are now adorned with banners, festoons, and billboards.
