The Bangabandhu Tunnel beneath the Karnaphuli River in Chattogram has undergone a successful test run ahead of its inauguration. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will inaugurate the Bangabandhu Tunnel on Oct 28 and it will be open to the public from Oct 29. Twenty-five personnel from five teams of Agrabad and Karnaphuli fire stations and police also took part in the trial run on Monday. AS Mahtab Uddin, an additional commissioner of Chattogram Metropolitan Police, said they joined the trial run to test security during and after the inauguration. The Bangabandhu Tunnel has been built on a ‘one city two towns’ model.
