Daily Bangla Times: The repayment of the loan taken for construction of the Padma Bridge has started with Tk 316.91 crore paying to the government.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina received a cheque for Tk 316,90,97,049 as the first and second installments of the loan at her official residence Ganobhaban on Wednesday.

Road Transport and Bridge Minister Obaidul Quader handed over the cheque to the premier.

While taking the cheque, the Prime Minister said, “I believe we can step forward confronting any hurdle if the people stand beside us. Construction of the Padma Bridge with own finance is the best example of it”.

The loan was taken from Bangladesh Bank at a low interest rate under an agreement signed between the Finance Division and the Bangladesh Bridge Authority.

On June 25, 2022, the prime minister opened the country's largest bridge - 6.15-km Padma Bridge- over the mighty Padma River.
