The department has applied to extend the duration of the much-anticipated Padma Multipurpose Bridge construction project by two years. Last Thursday, they applied for extension in the Department of Implementation Monitoring and Evaluation (IMED).

In this regard, IMED Secretary Pradeep Ranjan Chakraborty said, "We have applied for an extension of two years for the Padma Bridge project." It is being tested. I hope the decision on whether to extend the term will come this week. '

The bridge department's application for extension said, "The Padma Multipurpose Bridge Construction Project will expire on June 30. At present, the actual work of this project is 83 percent complete. In order to complete the remaining actual work, it is necessary to extend the period till June 2023 without increasing the cost and with one year defect notification period.
