Shipping Minister Shahjahan Khan yesterday emphasised expansion of railway and development of river communication to accelerate container transportation across the country from Chittagong Port. The ministry is set to take necessary steps with the help of the communication ministry, he told reporters after inaugurating the 'Two-Stage Gate Complex' at the port. Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) established the two-stage gate at a point that connects the port access road and container yards to ensure discipline and security in unloading, entrance and departure of containers under the Chittagong Port Trade Facilitation Project. The minister said the government would take steps to revamp the port by introducing modern technology in port activities. He hoped the two-stage gate would check the entrance of illegal vehicles inside the port.
