BNP Standing Committee member and Chattogram-11 candidate Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury announced plans to develop Chattogram as a comprehensive logistics center serving not only Bangladesh but also India’s northeastern states, Myanmar, and Northeast Asia. He made the statement on Friday during a campaign event in the city’s Halishahar area, emphasizing that regional trade would flow through this corridor.

Khasru outlined a vision for modernizing Chattogram Port through improved communication systems, integrated freight transport, and international-standard warehousing. He expressed optimism that these initiatives would create new business opportunities. He also revealed plans to upgrade Shah Amanat International Airport into a regional air hub, serving both passenger and cargo operations, with enhanced facilities and security for international transit travelers.

During the campaign, local party leaders were present as Khasru sought votes for the BNP’s electoral symbol and pledged to restore citizens’ voting rights.
