Loan-funded investment in Karnaphuli Tunnel at risk
The Karnaphuli Tunnel, a costly and loss-making mega project in Chattogram, has become a financial burden on Bangladesh’s economy.

Experts have pointed out that the loan taken for this project, along with the accruing interest, is being repaid from funds borrowed for other projects. As a result, the country’s economy is trapped in a vicious cycle of debt.
