CCCI call to speed up Dhaka-Ctg highway construction

Our Correspondent, Ctg
President of Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), Murshed Murad Ibrahim, yesterday sought the prime minister's intervention in speeding up the construction of the four-lane Dhaka Chittagong highway. In a letter to the prime minister, he said the highway is of utmost importance as the bulk of the country's imports and exports travel over it, says a CCCI press release. The construction remains frozen since March with only 17 percent progress instead of the projected 71 percent, adversely affecting the country's economy, he stated.
