Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today (May 30) said the construction of the Padma Bridge slated to open for traffic on June 25 next brightened the country's image in the world.
She said: "The decision to construct the Padma Bridge by own finance has brightened the country's image in the globe and also accelerated the nation's confidence."
The prime minister was addressing the Army Selection Board-2022 meeting at the Army Headquarters' Multipurpose Complex at Dhaka Cantonment.

The prime minister asked the army to gain the confidence and trust of the masses through their activities.
