STORYLINE:
As the first train of Padma Bridge Rail Link Project (PBRLP) departed from a new station on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka on Tuesday, the first section of the biggest railway in Bangladesh formally opened.
The PBRLP, one of significant projects under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Bangladesh, was built by the China Railway Group Limited (CREC) and funded by the Export-Import Bank of China.
The first section of the railway link is about 80 km long from Dhaka to Bhanga.
SOUNDBITE 1 (Bengali): MD. SHAH JAMAL, Local resident
"Today is a joyful day for the residents of Munshiganj. This railway brought good tidings, floods of joy to the common people, thanks to those Chinese who built it, invested it and developed the railway."
SOUNDBITE 2 (Bengali): SHEIKH AZHAR HOSSAIN, Local resident
"I am very happy because we never thought that our generation would see this. I'm grateful that the government of our friendly country China has extended all possible cooperation to us."
The entire 172-km project, which will lead to Jashore eventually in the southwestern region of Bangladesh, is scheduled for completion in 2024.
It will serve as a vital channel that connects Dhaka and more than 20 districts in the southern area of Bangladesh, and will also be an important part of the trans-Asian railway network to promote regional connectivity and economic development of Bangladesh.
