KHULNA July 13, 2026 (BSS) – Khulna Development Authority (KDA) Chairman Advocate Shafiqul Alam Mona today said the BNP-led government is committed to building a modern, beautiful and traffic congestion-free Khulna.

Speaking while supervising emergency repair work on the dilapidated Shipyard Road in Khulna city, he said the road is one of the region's most important transport corridors, playing a vital role in communication and economic activities.
