Yunus Arrives in Chattogram for One-Day Visit

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus reached his hometown, Chattogram, on Wednesday morning for a daylong visit — his first since assuming office as the head of the interim government.

A Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight carrying the Chief Adviser and his entourage landed at Shah Amanat International Airport at around 9:22 am.

During his visit, he will tour the Chittagong Port and attend a meeting at the NCT-5 premises inside the port area.

He will exchange views with senior officials of the port and shipping sector, representatives of various port users' organisations and leaders of trade bodies.

From the port, Yunus will go to the Chattogram Circuit House where he will unveil the foundation stone of the Kalurghat Bridge over the Karnaphuli River.

It is the much-anticipated bridge for the people living on the southern bank of the Karnaphuli River in Boalkhali and Patiya upazilas of Chattogram.

Officials will brief the Chief Adviser on the waterlogging of Chattogram City and traffic congestion on Hathazari road from the city's Oxygen Intersection.

Besides, the Chief Adviser will hand over the deed of the land of Chattogram National Heart Foundation to the authorities.

Yunus will join the fifth convocation of Chittagong University (CU) as the chief guest.

He will also visit his ancestral home in Bathua village under Shikarpur Union of Hathazari Upazila.
