This is the longest marine drive.Full 80 Km!

This marine drive, 80 km stretch from Inani to Teknaf. There is another marine drive (close to 92 KM) proposal from China (with $2.8 billion Chinese fund) that will stretch from Sitakundo to Cox's Bazar and connects to this marine drive. Once and if that project completes, one can get to marine drive from Dhaka - Chittagong highway and travel entire cost of Chittagong and Cox's Bazar upto southern most tip of Teknaf. China already done feasibility study using an European consultant who are experienced in building coastal infrastructure. Question is, will awami league allow this vital project or block it on indian instruction?

সমুদ্রের বিশালতা মানুষকে মুগ্ধ করে, কাছে টানে। আর দশটা সাধারণ মানুষের মতো প্রধানমন্ত্রী শেখ হাসিনাও উচ্ছ্বাস-আনন্দে সমুদ্রদর্শন করেন। ঝিনুকফোটা সাগরবেলায় তিনি অনেকটা সময় খালি পায়ে হাঁটেন। মন ভেজান সমুদ্রের ঢেউয়ের তালে।
