Escap team to visit Benapole tomorrow


A team of UN-Escap will be visiting Beanpole, the largest land port of the country, tomorrow to study the feasibility of Bangladesh Asian Highway.

The team comprising Napalese Economic Affairs Officer Madan B Regmie and Japanese Un-Escap Consultant Hikaroo Nisimoora was scheduled to arrive in Dhaka yesterday.

The team is supposed to meet the high officials of Communication Ministry and Roads and Highways Department prior to their visit to Benapole.

Roads of Norail, Jessore, Banapole and Bhatiapara would be surveyed to make a feasibility report for the Bangladesh Asian highway.

Sources said this new route would help lessen the distance from Dhaka to Benapole by 100 kilometres. .
