flag Business leaders in Chattogram urge halt to 41% port tariff hike, fearing price hikes and lost exports.

flag Business leaders in Chattogram are urging the government to halt a proposed 41% tariff increase at Chattogram Port, warning it will raise consumer prices, hurt export competitiveness, and benefit foreign operators like DP World. flag They argue the hike, set for October 15, is unjustified given the port’s profitability, lacks stakeholder input, and could push buyers to shift production to lower-cost countries like Vietnam and India. flag Meanwhile, traffic on the Dhaka–Sylhet highway’s Sarail stretch has improved after temporary repairs and dividers were installed, following a site inspection by the Road Transport and Bridges Adviser. flag The upgrades are part of the larger Ashuganj–Akhaura four-lane project, now 62% complete on its first package, with work ongoing under an extended deadline of June 2027.
