At that time, information and opinions were provided on the pre-feasibility study of the master plan project under implementation by CDA and the metro rail project under implementation by Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority (DTCA) funded by KAICA. In this regard, CDA chairman Mohammad Yunus said, we have to take a plan for the next 50 to 100 years with the aim of making Chittagong habitable. Therefore, the metro rail project should not only be thought of for the current city, but the issue of facilitating the communication system of Greater Chittagong as well as South Chittagong and North Chittagong should be kept in mind. That’s why he emphasized on the circular train along with the metro rail and said that if the metro rail project is underground, how to mitigate the environmental aspects such as floods, tidal waves and landslides should be in the plan.
Besides, CDA chairman assured that CDA will give full cooperation to speed up the work of the project. Also present at this time were the Project Director and Deputy Chief Mohammad Abu Isa Ansari Present on behalf of the Korean International Cooperation Agency were Mir Mohammad Kamrul Hasan, project director of the MRT project, Ilho Chung, vice president of Yosin Engineering Corporation, Junheng Jo and Sangyo Lee.
