Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has announced that the Chattogram–Cox’s Bazar highway will be expanded from four to six lanes. Speaking at a public rally in Chakaria, Cox’s Bazar, on Saturday evening, he said the road had not been developed in the past 17 years and remained as it was left by the previous BNP government. Earlier in the day, he inaugurated the re-excavation of the historic Patli Canal in PMkhali, associated with late President Ziaur Rahman.
The Prime Minister emphasized that the BNP government prioritizes farmers, pledging to set fair prices for salt producers and to distribute agricultural cards to 8,000–10,000 farmers per district, each receiving Tk 2,500 in incentives. He also highlighted initiatives for women’s education, including making undergraduate and degree-level education free for women and expanding stipends to reach rural areas. Additional measures include family cards for rural households and special budget allocations for affordable healthcare.
Rahman said taxes on heart rings and dialysis equipment have been withdrawn to reduce treatment costs, while taxes were increased only on alcohol and cigarettes. He reaffirmed that the government’s programs aim to improve the lives of 200 million citizens.
