Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said the government is working to establish a rail network across the country for providing transportation to people and goods at a cheaper rate.

"There will be a rail line from Dhaka to Chattogram, Chattogram to Cox's Bazar and Ghundum. We'll build the railways stronger and we have plans," she said.

The prime minister said this while laying the foundation stone of 4.8km long double-line dual-gauge Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Railway Bridge over the Jamuna aimed at increasing the rail communication between the capital and Western zone of the Railway.
