Description
Bangladesh on Saturday opened an important bridge near the capital Dhaka after a long construction plagued by delays, graft allegations, and even deadly lynchings sparked by rumours of human sacrifice.
The inauguration of the Padma Multipurpose Bridge -- now officially the country's longest -- caps a key infrastructure goal by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the nearly eight years since construction began.
