State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid recently said Bangladesh-India Friendship Pipeline will contribute effectively to energy security.
"It will be a milestone in providing fuel to the northern region of the country quickly, uninterruptedly and in a cost-effective manner," he said while inspecting the progress of the pipeline project at Parbatipur.
Nasrul Hamid said one of the main conditions for development is uninterrupted power and energy supply in the country which is being ensured successfully by the Awami League government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Earlier Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen today said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her Indian counterpart Narendra Modi would open jointly the maiden cross-border oil pipeline on March 18 for diesel transportation to Bangladesh.
