Jamuna River of Bangladesh

The Jamuna River is one of the major rivers of Bangladesh, flowing through the northern part of the country. It is the main distributary of the Brahmaputra River, originating from the Tibetan plateau. The river plays a significant role in the economy and livelihoods of people living along its banks, supporting agriculture, transportation, and fishing activities. The Jamuna Bridge, also known as the Bangabandhu Bridge, is a crucial infrastructure landmark in Bangladesh, spanning the Jamuna River. It is the country's longest bridge and one of the largest in South Asia. The bridge connects the eastern and western regions of Bangladesh, facilitating transportation and trade between different parts of the country. Completed in 1998, the Jamuna Bridge has significantly reduced travel time and contributed to the socio-economic development of Bangladesh.
