The Padma Bridge is not a pile of brick and cement but a symbol of the nation’s pride, honour and ability, said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, bdnews24.com reports. It encapsulates our passion, creativity, courage, endurance and perseverance,” she said during the inauguration of the long-awaited Padma Bridge, the longest in Bangladesh. The construction of the bridge had been set back by plots and conspiracies, but eventually, all hurdles were surmounted, the prime minister said. But the bridge would not be standing tall without the courage and support of the people, according to Hasina. She also thanked those involved with the implementation of the project as well as the people who gave up their lands and homes to facilitate the construction of the bridge.
