After months of legal and logistical challenges, a sea-track service has been successfully launched between Maheshkhali and Cox’s Bazar, announced Maritime Affairs Adviser M. Shakhawat Hossain. The project faced numerous lawsuits and delays before finally being inaugurated. Professor Dr. Salimullah Khan praised the government’s initiative, calling it a “historic breakthrough” for Maheshkhali residents.
