Prime Minister Tarique Rahman successfully completed his visit to Sylhet on Saturday, May 2, 2026, despite continuous rain that had disrupted the city’s festive atmosphere. He arrived at Sylhet Osmani Airport in the morning with his wife, Dr. Zubaida Rahman, and inaugurated several development projects, including the Surma Riverbank Development Project worth about Tk 4,635 crore. The project aims to enhance riverbank beauty, prevent flooding, and improve urban mobility and recreation.
During a civic gathering at Sylhet City Corporation, the Prime Minister announced plans to double the Dhaka–Sylhet railway line and expand the highway to ease travel. He emphasized sustainable water management through canal excavation and pledged to address waterlogging in Sylhet permanently. Rahman also revealed plans to recruit 100,000 health workers—80 percent women—to promote health awareness nationwide.
He reaffirmed his government’s commitment to implementing election promises, including reopening closed factories, activating the Sylhet IT Park, and supporting flood-affected farmers. The Prime Minister said these initiatives would create jobs, attract investment, and improve public health and infrastructure resilience.
