Communications minister Obaidul Quader has said work on Padma bridge project under the private public partnership will begin soon.
"Measures will be taken to commence the work under the PPP as early as possible as per the prime minister's announcement," he said during a visit to the Setu Bhaban on Sunday.
Quader demanded the World Bank provide evidence to back its allegations against Bangladesh because "the accusation is not against the government, it is a bad reputation for the country".
The communications minister said that three bridges -Meghna, Gomati and Kanchpur- have to be saved. Among the three, Meghna bridge is in the most critical state and so Overload Control Machine will be placed there from Dec 17.
The repairs of Gomati and Kanchpur bridges are underway, added the minister.
Quader asked the officials and employees of Setu Bhaban to work "together as a team with commitment and commonsense" and warned that he himself will refrain from committing irregularities and would not let anyone commit any.
