Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus urged the rapid coordinated advancement of Bangladesh's road, rail, air, and river networks on Sunday, stressing that environmental protection must remain central to development. He warned that the nation's current chaotic transport system risks becoming an economic burden if not reformed immediately. His remarks came during a meeting reviewing the Central Integrated Multimodal Transport Sector Master Plan at the Jamuna state guesthouse.

Yunus emphasized rivers as vital lifelines requiring preservation while developing waterways. Senior transport and planning officials presented a strategy to streamline existing infrastructure through interagency coordination rather than massive new construction. Officials noted that optimizing current railways, waterways and highways could yield significant improvements. Planning Adviser Wahiduddin Mahmud called for quick connectivity projects in underserved regions. Bangladesh Investment Development Authority Chairman Chowdhury Ashik Mahmud Bin Harun highlighted upcoming Chattogram port expansions requiring prompt road link development. Yunus praised the initial framework but demanded concrete implementation steps focused on national prosperity and global trade links.
