BSS, Khulna :
The Port of Mongla, the second busiest sea port of the country, is set to celebrate its 69th founding anniversary tomorrow with a commitment to boosting its capacity and service tremendously. To mark the day, an elaborate programme was chalked out including colourful rally, discussion, cake cutting, doa mahfil and cultural function. Mayor of Khulna City Corporation (KCC) Talukder Abdul Khaleque and Deputy Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Begum Habibun Nahar is expected to lead the programme.
Established in 1950, Mongla port has gone through many struggles and setbacks, said a top official, adding “But now it is one of the busiest sea ports of the country”.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina took a visionary step to revitalize the port after Awami League came to power in 2009.
