Sheikh Russel Cantonment
Sheikh Russel Cantonment is a Bangladeshi military cantonment near Padma Bridge in Munshiganj and Shariatpur Districts, Bangladesh.
The cantonment has been named after Sheikh Russel, younger brother of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed. It has been established to ensure overall security of the bridge as it will be the main link of the highway connectivity between South Bengal and other parts of Bangladesh.[citation needed]
