POBNEWS24, Dhaka June 28, 2022 : The debt that the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman has bound us with the gift of this independent-sovereign nation-state must be gratefully acknowledged as a nation for generations to come. In the same way, it is important to remember that the visionary leader Sheikh Hasina, who has set the world on the difficult wheel of development, has made the Bengalis a seat of dignity through this unique achievement. I would like to say a few words about the Padma Bridge, which is a unique example of the successful steps taken by the Hon’ble Prime Minister. The independent nation-state in its path after Bangabandhu, before the rule of the people’s leader, whether it was normal or abnormal, this Bangladesh has not seen any example of such an impossible excellence.
Honorable Prime Minister’s Successful Steps: Before saying anything about the Padma Bridge, which has created a very laudable and unique example, it is advisable to take a look at how such an achievement is possible.
The common English proverb ‘Necessity is the mother of invention’, whose Bengali meaning is ‘the mother of invention’ but it is not understood by many in childhood. Because, a question comes to mind, how is the lack again the cause of the discovery? However, due to Vidya Devi’s kindness and old age, there is some improvement in the understanding, due to which there is a slight difference in the perception of meaning. For this reason, it can be said without any doubt that if there is no shortage in the mind of anyone, it is absolutely impossible to give him any creative developmental ideas and to decide what to do about it, in the context of Bangladesh, I do not have to hurry. However, I would like to say in unison that in the last thousand years, the sovereign Bangladesh has not been able to alleviate the plight of the Bengalis except Bangabandhu. And this nation has seen a lot of boasting of capitalism by capitalizing on reaction. It has seen the hateful feeling of the rulers who have not been waiting for the trial of ‘begging for rice’ for 21 years after the brutal assassination of Bangabandhu. So the consciousness is not so straightforward আবিষ্কার the only way to discover the mind is to work in the positive sense of lack of mind. In terms of reality, I will now focus on that.
In fact, Sheikh Hasina, a pro-people and benevolent leader who has been working for the welfare of the people for the last one and a half decades, has risked her life to build a creative and self-respecting Bangladesh. Hold this pen today with the intention of speaking.
At this auspicious time, the strong voice of the Father of the Nation, ‘No one will be able to keep the Bengali nation under control’ is very much remembered. O Father! Come and see that your Bengali nation has awakened today under the wise leadership of your daughter, today she has started the realization of your dream in your consciousness, in the way you have shown.
The verses of the poet Sukanta Bhattacharya are reminiscent of the imprint of his self-confident determination to surprise not only the country but the whole world as a leading figure in the renaissance of Bangladesh’s arrogance.
‘Well done, Bangladesh, this world is looking at you in
amazement . ‘
But in some corner of the poet’s mind, did he think that the intention of the public leader would be to change the destiny of the exploited and deprived people by becoming the future of this country, to be the root of all evil departures? The answer to this question is that this generation must be found, because in this Bangladesh no one can be equal to the father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his daughter Nayanmani Jannetri Sheikh Hasina.
Now I want to focus on the Padma Bridge িশ the official name of the Padma Bridge is ‘Padma Multipurpose Bridge’. The versatile name may be justified by its construction style and attractiveness, ensuring uninterrupted road connectivity, alleviating suffering, contributing to the national economy, expanding trade and transport of goods, agri-friendly role and utility and addressing all conspiracies and challenges from planning to final implementation. There are many more aspects to this discussion due to the short scope, which it is not possible to bring up, perhaps at some other time more diverse topics can be covered in detail.
However, no matter how brief the discussion and review on the Padma Bridge in any range, if you do not give importance to the two inevitable issues, you have to read the list of the most ungrateful, you have to read the vicious circle of reaction!
The first of which is the achievement of self-confident and courageous steps with one’s own funds, the credit for which goes only to Deshratna Sheikh Hasina. And even if there is this unique amiable quality, the ‘Sheikh Hasina Padma Bridge’ proposed in the inaugural summary of the bridge sent by the Ministry of Communications can be rejected and the ‘Padma Multipurpose Bridge’ can be kept. This is possible only for the daughter of Bangabandhu who is happy with the people and does not give priority to her own interests. That is why she is the daughter of democracy, the trustworthy humanitarian Prime Minister of the youth. Such a benevolent and benevolent Prime Minister will go ahead in the service of the country and raise the country’s development flag in the world arena – this is the reality.
There was not much desire to present information about the materials or methods used on this bridge. But in the early stages of the construction of the bridge, there was a keen eye for the master vicious circle to cut off his own nose and break the next journey, causing some stubborn critics and obstructionists to engage in deep conspiracies, so that this arrogant act would not succeed in any way. For this reason, from the beginning till today, not only the people of the country, but also the people of the world and curious people should talk briefly about the solid foundation, shape and nature of the Padma Bridge which is at the center of discussion.
The Padma River is the second longest rapids in the world, originating from the Nevada Mismi Mountains in the Andes Mountains in Peru. About 140,000 cubic meters of water flows in its main stream every second. The nature of the soil at the bottom of this river is also different. Therefore, even the architects skilled in architectural style became a matter of concern with the piling of the bridge at the bottom of the river. According to the data, No other bridge in the world has been piling at a depth of about 122 meters from the ground at the bottom of the river like the Padma Bridge. In other words, this two-storey bridge has the same level of piling as a 40-41 storey building deep in the ground at the bottom of the river. The number of pilings for each pillar of the bridge is six and the number of pillars is 42. Each pillar can carry a load of about 50,000 tons. The bridge is capable of handling the unwanted impact of a ship with a capacity of four thousand dead weight tonnage. The steel sheet used for the pile is about 10 feet in diameter and a hammer with a capacity of 3,000 kilojoules is used to place this sheet, which is specially made from Germany. The bridge has the ability to withstand earthquakes of 9 magnitude on the Richter scale. Each bearing of the used span is about 10,500 metric tons, which is the highest of the heavy bearings used in the world. Rail traffic through the bottom of the road, 6.
Although Munshiganj and Shariatpur and Madaripur districts were apparently connected to the other side of the Padma, it opened the way for direct travel to the south-west with the capital. 21 districts of the region are directly connected to the capital Dhaka through this Padma bridge and the average distance with the capital of these districts is about 100 km. This bridge will be considered as the key to the development of the people of Barisal division. Light and heavy industries including garments will be established in this region. A tourist center could be set up on the banks of the Padma Bridge. It is also a blessing for the Khulna division. Communications are the catalyst for industrial development, trade and commerce and the economy as a whole. Today, the bridge overcame the long-standing obstacles of the region and freed the ferry from crossing the difficult ferry. Today, Sheikh Hasina’s steel is moving towards a tough step. People in about 29 percent of the total area of the country will directly benefit. The bridge will play an important role as a communication hub for regional and overall economic development. Transportation of goods by rail will be accelerated and transportation costs will be reduced. The gas line will reach the south-west of the country quickly. According to the JICA survey, the country’s GDP will grow by 1.2 percent. According to experts, any investment that returns at least 12 percent a year is the ideal investment. With that in mind, the potential return on investment for the Padma Bridge is projected at 19 percent a year. Only a return of at least 12 percent per annum from any investment can be called the ideal investment.

Uninterrupted internal road connectivity of the country will be ensured, trade expansion and revolutionary changes in the transportation of goods will be signaled. The Padma Bridge is a proud bridge to connect the port city of Chittagong with the capital with the deep seaport of Payra, the port of Mongla and the land port of Benapole to strengthen the foundation of the agricultural economy and accelerate the expansion of industry. It is only a matter of time before Bangladesh joins the Asian Highway through this bridge. About six crore people in the directly affected areas will be affected by the development, which will reduce poverty. Bangladesh will be able to earn huge foreign exchange by transporting the goods of the country as well as the goods of the neighboring countries in this way.
Therefore, the current progress of Bangladesh in the index of poverty alleviation and overall economy of the country will be accelerated. Thus archaeological and economic value will be established. At the same time, ‘time’, which is very important for human life, will become affordable in communication and transportation of goods.
Due to the lack of a bridge over the Padma, the waiting of the passengers was not over. Many times people have had to spend days and nights on the banks of this Padma, many dangerous patients have had to die due to lack of ferries. The only ones who have witnessed the loss of raw materials and perishable goods are those who have suffered the loss. How many fresh lives have been lost after the boat sank in bad weather কে who kept the news? There are innumerable instances where the students could not get involved in the admission war of the reputed educational institutions of the country while counting the waiting hours at this wharf. Working hours have increased while waiting in Padmapar, transportation cost has increased. From today, this Padma bridge will work as a means to alleviate the aforesaid suffering of the people. Bangladesh has come under super connectivity in road communication. Hoping to discuss in detail its contribution to the national economy, agri-friendly role and utility in another range, the most discussed now,
The reality and the challenge of dealing with the conspiracies of these intrigues at all stages from the plan to the final implementation were in this grand project. Despite a ১২ 1.20 billion loan agreement with the World Bank for the bridge project, the World Bank, ADB and JICA withdrew it in 2016-2017, alleging alleged corruption in the appointment of consultants. Is the hand of some anti-development activists of this country, who wanted to take advantage of the foreigners by swearing at them, to suppress this corruption and to fight against the arrogance of the Bengalis? Certainly not!
I have said the exposed mask is because the way in which the leaders of the domestic and foreign clique have spoken out against the alleged corruption and stopped investing has not been washed away. And a Canadian court has refuted their nefarious activities, conspiracies and alleged corruption. His Excellency the Court of Canada has made it clear that there was no corruption in the project. And where no money has been allocated, how is corruption possible? However, it may not be an exaggeration to say that the multi-faceted conspiracy of the anti-government and anti-national vicious circle has never stopped in this multi-dimensional bridge project. When the smoke of corruption stopped in foreign courts, various rumors were created. To make people angry by raising rumors of ever taking the head. According to many, creating a kind of cloudy atmosphere in the guise of a madman, There is no shortage of efforts to prevent land acquisition. Conspiracy to sabotage or inaction to thwart it is being heard loudly in the last opening ceremony. Despite such disruptive activities outside, there was a fear in the minds of this vicious circle that they knew that the leadership had turned Bangladesh into a middle-income country, achieved MDGs, achieved SDGs, with Bangabandhu’s blood flowing in its arteries, and would not back down.
And why only they, the whole world including the countrymen know that Bangabandhu Kanya works for the development of the country from the path of true and beautiful welfare, her visionary leadership, dedication and accountability are incomparable. That is why Sheikh Hasina, the forerunner of building a better Bangladesh, declared in a confident voice that day, ‘We will build the Padma Bridge with our own money.’ ‘Sheikh Hasina, the undisputed leader of the Bengalis, took a timely decision, today is the auspicious journey of Padma Bridge, the embodiment of her strong and strong voice and the right action plan.
Let us rely on the conviction of the great world leader Desaratna Sheikh Hasina, whose determination is the result of far-reaching decisions, to support all her people-friendly works and participate in the ongoing Bangladesh building war by reflecting on the current generation’s participation in the liberation war. Let’s get rid of it. And the countrymen think that this will be the answer to the vicious cycle of sharp-eyed vision and their conspiracies. So, in this Mahendrakshan of today, let us show distrust and contempt towards the vile deeds of Sheikh Hasina by showing the dazzling development to the slanderers-conspirators-haters and jealous of the development of the country.
We believe that the vision of the father of the best Bengali nation of all time with the aspirations of seventeen and a half crore people of the country is creating one connection after another. This Bangladesh will remain exemplary as long as it lasts.
Joy Bangla, Joy Bangabandhu. Jayatu Sheikh Hasina.
