Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader yesterday told parliament that a feasibility study is underway to build a subway to ease traffic congestion in Dhaka.

"Ninety-five percent of the work has been completed as of February. Once this is completed, work on the subway construction project will begin, subject to confirmation of the funding," the minister said in reply to a query from ruling Awami League MP Didarul Alam.

Meanwhile, in response to a question from Jatiya Party's Mashiur Rahman Ranga, Textile and Jute Minister Golam Dastagir Gazi said the mills under the control of Bangladesh Textile Mills Corporation (BTMC) had incurred a loss of Tk 3,168.46 crore in the last financial year.

At that time, those mills have spent Tk 3,652. 94 crore, and earned Tk 484.48 crore.

Earlier the House went into sitting at around 11:15am with Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair.

The question-answer session was tabled.
