'liberation struggle and Bangladesh emerged as an independent country from Pakistan
on the world map in 1971. The year, 2020 will be celebrated as the Mujib year for

Padma Bridge
Padma Bridge is a future for Bangladesh. It will impact upcoming developments of the country.
This Padma Bridge Paragraph will provide a short view of the Padma bridge. Padma Bridge
Paragraph includes the history, construction, and after-effects of the bridge. One of the dream
projects of Bangladesh is Padma Bridge. It will be the world's sixth-largest multipurpose bridge.
From December 2014 the bridge has started its construction journey and still going great guns.
Although, it wasn't easy at the start considering funds and other economic issues. Even, the
World Bank canceled its credit agreement. At last, the country had come up with its own fund.
But for the country, economic issue was not the only thing to deal with. Because river Padma
has two natures - calm in winter and cruel in summer. So, Engineers divided the construction
process into five parts to solve this problem. The first of them was constructing the main bridge.
that's 6.15km in length. This phase includes setting up 41 spans and the erection of 42 supports
for connecting both banks, River training is the second part. Probably the most difficult part of
the process. The third and fourth part is connecting links which are to connect the bridge with
two highways. One will be made in Janjira and another in Mawa. Service area construction for
servicing is the fifth step. The last of them is the supervision of the whole project. Padma bridge
will connect the south-west region of the country with the capital and eastern part. For this,
regional cooperation will increase and transport management will be convenient. In addition, it
will play an important role in the economic sector of Bangladesh. Industrial development and
employment opportunities will cause radical changes in the condition of south-west residents.
Not only economy and transportation facilities will increase but also medical and educational
facilities will be easy to access. The whole country waits for its largest bridge to activate. It has
been said that Padma Bridge will be inaugurated in December 2021. The world will be
witnessing the history of proud Bangladesh.
Rohingya
The Rohingya people are a stateless Indo-Aryan-speaking from the Rakhine state of Myanmar.
They are the minority group of Myanmar. The majority of Rohingya are Muslim & the minority
are Hindu. The army of Myanmar had attacked them. There are approximately 1 million people
who lived in Rakhine before the recent crisis. The United Nation reported that almost 625,000
had crossed the border of Myanmar to save their life by entering into Bangladesh. Then starts
the Rohingya crisis in Bangladesh. The government of Bangladesh helps them & save from
them the outrage of the Myanmar Army. The citizenship law 1982 of Myanmar canceled the
probability of becoming citizens of them. That's why the Myanmar government enforce
them to tolerate different types of neglecting & outraged. The Myanmar army enforces them to
leave their own cultivating lands. The Myanmar army gives these lands to local Buddhists. They
can not go one from another part of this country. Besides they are restricted from government
education, medicine. Rather they have to duty as guards, workers under the Myanmar army
once a week. Rohingya people are one of the most neglected ethnic group in the whole
world. Though they are an indigenous group they are an unrecognized group of Myanmar
government. Finally, the government of Bangladesh is trying to back them to Myanmar with the
help of the UN.
