Trial Run on Daudkandi | Tripura Waterways

Shipments of goods have reached Tripura, India from Daudkandi, Bangladesh. On 5 September 2021, the consignment of cement went from Daudkandi ,Comilla to Sonamura in Tripura on a trial basis via the Gomti river. It is basically the first initiative to be used as a direct import-export naval route between the two countries.

Premier Cement Mills Limited, has become the first exporter of the product by river to the northeastern Indian state of Tripura. The Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) has given the approval to the company to export goods on a trial basis. It was inaugurated in Sonamura India. BIWTA Chairman Golam Sadeq inaugurated the experimental navigation by flying balloons at the Bibirbazar, Gomti section of Comilla.

 

At present, about 5 per cent of the country's total cement production goes to the northeastern states of India. The country's exporters are currently using the Akhaura land port to export goods to Tripura. On May, two new waterway agreements were signed between the two countries in Dhaka. One is from Rajshahi to Dulihan in India and the other is from Daudkandi to Sonamura. According to the agreement, the trial run started. The distance from Daudkandi to Sonamura is 93 km. From there, the consignment is to travel by road to Agartala, the capital of Tripura.

Traders involved in exports to Tripura said the Gumti River has many problems and crises. The biggest problem is the navigability crisis in the river. The navigability of Gumti River is very low. It is not suitable for navigation at depths of more than three to three and a half feet. As a result, it is not possible to move large cargo ships. You have to bring and take only limited goods in one vessel. The height of the bridge is also a big problem. There are 23 low-height bridges along the Gumti river. As a result, it will not be possible for large vessels to pass under the bridge. 

Mohammad Amirul Haque, managing director of Premier Cement Mills Limited said that this is the first time that this trade facility has been created by waterway with the northeastern Indian state of Tripura. This will boost exports to Tripura and other northeastern states and reduce transportation costs. Transporting goods by water is relatively cheaper and definitely more environmentally friendly than by road or rail. This movement can be continued even in the dry season, if regular dredging is done in the necessary parts of the Gumti river. In addition, low-altitude bridges need to be addressed quickly. If the waterway can be used to accommodate large cargo ships, Bangladesh's construction materials will be ahead in the price competition. In addition, regular use of the waterway will increase bilateral trade with neighboring countries.

Bangladesh Water development Board says, The Gumti River has a flow of 2 to 3 meters in the monsoon season, but in the dry season there is one meter of water somewhere in the river. However, dredging will have to be done at different places of the river to make it suitable for navigation if the commercial shipping between the two countries starts in full swing.

Large and small cargo ships will not be able to operate on this river as there are at least 23 low and high bridges on the river. As a result, import and export of goods has to be done in small ships. The BIWTA has already taken up a project for dredging the river. They also have a project underway. The Water Development Board will work to protect the embankment of the river once it starts exporting by sea.

The distance between Bibirbazar land port and Gumti river waterway is 200 meters. Through this land port, Bangladeshi goods have been exported to the tune of Tk 92.47 crore in the 2018-19 fiscal year and revenue of BDT 73 lac has been collected on goods imported from India. Revenue will be further increased through import and export of goods by river.

The relationship between Bangladesh and India is set to reach another milestone with the first ever export consignment from Daudkandi reaching Tripura through inland waterways. This route is significant as it connects Tripura to the national waterways of India through Bangladesh for the first time.

If Bangladesh can create a better competitive scenario, then Bangladeshi exporters can grab a larger portion of exports using this waterway, but the government will have to incentivize the private sector for using and popularizing this route. Since riverways are more cost effective than roads or railway transportation, Bangladesh can explore many avenues if it can explore the river route properly.

 

Thanks,

After its founding, Dr Rashmohan Chakravarty and Mahesh Chandra Bhattacharya himself worked to expand its holdings. Today, the name of the Comilla Rammala Library is also being pronounced on the back of tradition. In the year 1912, a Sanskrit library was established in the meeting room of Mahesh Chandra Bhattacharya’s house in Comilla.

Mahesh Chandra Bhattacharya, a scholar, philanthropist and descendant of Bengal. Mahesh Chandra Bhattacharya is one of those who have worked tirelessly for the good of the country and the people in the pursuit of great purpose in human life. He has become well-established in life from the poorest of the poor, relying on hard work honesty, perseverance, self-confidence and noble ideals. He didn’t have the opportunity to study for severe poverty, later he made money.

This great human of Comilla (former Tripura), was born in the village of Bitghar under Nabinagar upazila of Brahmanbaria district.

Many researchers from across the country and abroad came to read Rammala's booklet for research and other purposes. The contribution of the Rammala Library is immense in the education and culture of Bangladesh. For researchers and explorers, the Rammala Library is favorite of all.

Apart from this lots of the scriptures of different religions are preserved in this library, so that it can play a vital role in creating a biography for the ordinary readers.

In the name of his mother the Ramlala Library was established in the year 1912, and later in the name of his father, Comilla Ishwar Pathshala was established. The Devalaya was founded in the 1917. A Primary School and Nibedita Girls Student Hostel was established in 1919. The Nat Mandir was established in 1925. In the year 1926, the students of Rammala hostel welcomed the famous poet Guru Rabindranath Tagore. Researchers also came from British Library of the subcontinent at the traditional Rammala Library.

Cumilla Division | The demand of Time

In the Nineteen Sixties, greater mass movement was formed for the implementation of the Cumilla division in the country. It is known that the provincial council was raised in the context of the rationality of the establishment of the division and mass movement in Comilla. In 1994, the leader of the opposition, the current Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said in a meeting on Comilla Railway Station, while going to Chittagong from Dhaka, The leader said that the Comilla will be a Division if Bangladesh Awami League came to power.

Based on the number of population and the number of MPs (Member of Parliament) and other criterias, it is fair to divide the region of Cumilla as a division.

• There are 16 MPs in Chittagong, 4 MPs in Cox's Bazar, 1 MP from Rangamati, 1 MP from Khagrachari and 1 MP from Bandarban district. Total number of MPs from 5 districts of Chittagong and Hill Tracts area is 23.

• From the greater Cumilla and Noakhali region there are 11 MPs from Cumilla district, 6 MPs from Noakhali district, 6 MPs from Brahmanbaria, 5 MPs from Chandpur, 4 MPs from Laxmipur and 3 MPs from Feni district. There are total 35 MPs from the Greater Comilla and Noakhali region.

• From these 35 numbers of MPs, Twenty Two are from three districts of greater Comilla area.

• According to the 2011 population census of Bangladesh Government, the total population of Chittagong and Chittagong Hill Tracts was 1 Crore 18 Lac and 41 thousand.

• Based on the same census in 2011, the total population of the Greater Comilla and Noakhali region was 1 Crore 76 Lac 38 Thousand and 963.

• The population of Greater Comilla region was 1 Crore 10 Lac 43 Thousand and 386.

• Greater Noakhali area population was 65 Lac 96 Thousand and 577.

• The total area of Chittagong division is 33,771 square kilometers.

• The Chattogram Division is a large one having 11 numbers of districts, 2 city corporations, 100 upazilas, 61 municipalities/pourasava, 120 police stations and 946 union parishads.

Many Divisions in Bangladesh have been formed with fewer population and fewer MPs. Though judging from the population and Members of Parliament, the claim for Comilla division is fair. It seems to be very difficult to control the whole area by one divisional Commissioner. The biggest thing is that it’s also hinders for the development of the region. At the same time, the government's financial expenditures also increasing due to various system losses. By dividing Comilla, the expenditure can be reduced.

At present, there are no more divisions in the country that has 11 numbers of districts except Chattogram Division. Large sections have been divided for administrative decentralization across the country. Now, Comilla should be divided for the time being. Otherwise, this region will be wrongly judged and the development oriented people will be affected by extreme discrimination.

Cumilla is required to establish as a division through the decentralization in order to reach the state's doorstep for the establishment of strong administrative structure, balanced development and for good governance. There are 50 government and non-government departments and organizations office in Comilla - Noakhali territories. Many of these departments will not have to be re-established if divide Comilla. These will be established as divisional offices.

Cumilla has a glorious position in numbers of the educational institutions, it is called educational hub. At present, there are five Medical Colleges (One public and four private), five Universities in Cumilla (One public and four private) located around the Cumilla city.

The roads and communication systems of the region was developed for a very long time. Inside this district, 112-kilometer portion of the Dhaka-Chittagong National highway, which is known as the country's economic gateway, has been dispersed. The Cumilla district is surrounded by five of the six districts of greater Comilla and Noakhali region. Only the Lakshmipur district is a little away, but the roads and communication system is well with Lakshmipur.

Brahmanbaria district situated on the north side of Comilla, Chandpur district on the south-west side, Noakhali and Lakshmipur district on the south side and Feni district is located on the south-east side.

For International Border with India, it is very easy to make inter-country communication via road, railway and waterway (via Gomti River) to boost trade and commerce of the country. Considering the communication system, the Comilla division has the right priority.

The implementation of the Comilla division has now become a mass demand for the time being. Comilla Gonodabi Parishad has been in the movement for three decades in the context of this claim. Comilla's long-standing demand came forward even after the recent Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina decided to break the Chittagong division into another division. As a result, people of the area believe that their long-standing demand will be in reality soon.

It was people's usual demand for establishing a new division comprising with these six districts. So, the demand for the life of the large population of the greater Cumilla area will come true soon. People of these areas now believe it.

The demand of the peoples: Cumilla Division!

Thanks,

Tripura will be connected to the Indian mainland by using the Srimantapur International Port of Sonamura, India. The terminal of river port will be built temporarily at this land port. A high-level delegation of the Central Shipping Ministry took this decision after visiting the proposed river port area on December 2018.

After this, the Gomti River in Tripura will be connected to the inter-domestic waterway protocol. Sonamura will be directly connected to Calcutta using the international waterway of Bangladesh.

Before the start of Agartala National Road the Gomti River was the Life line of Tripura and Asam. The economy of the capital of the state was depended on the Gumti River. After the transfer of the capital, the economy was reducing the importance of the river. It has been found that despite the development of roadways, airways and railways for the last hundred years, the quality of the river Gomti has been completely lost, it is evidently increasing.

The roads, railways and airways that are not always helpful in the economic development of the Tripura state, which are surrounded by three border lines. So, in the meantime, the state government of India has stepped up to run the 100 years old life line of Gomti River again.

Gomati River in Tripura-India:

On October 30, the Secretary of the Central Ship Ministry came to the state tour on the purpose of visit the Queen Barrez. News about his commitment to the port of Gomati river port given by the Minister of Banmandpur land port of Sonamura, published in the North East Caller published on that day and for that the Minister changed his tour schedule. He came to Shimantpur land port at Sonamura with the district magistrate and the subdivision of Sonamura. After visiting the place, he met with the Chief Minister of the state on the way to discuss the issue of river port.

State's Chief Minister Mr. Biplob Kumar Deb said that the State Government received positive response from Union Minister Nitin Gadkari about the matter related to Tripura. The Chief Minister also got a positive response here. The Indian Navy has taken quick steps to implement the project involving the Indian waterways by connecting Tripura by the river. A high-level delegation came to Sonamura, within two months of visiting the Shrimantapur International Port.

Gomti River in Cumilla Bangladesh:

The visiting delegation visited the Gomati River in Shrimantapur International Port area. National Water Resources Department, State Flood Control Department, and the sub-divisional administration discussed the nature and the motion of Gomti.

While finding a land for the construction of a river port terminal, Durgapur has been provided with the main road, but the roadway has been blocked. Later, representatives from Durgapur to Sonamura Agartala proposed a road construction of a one and half kilometer long national standard road to Bhayakankar road. Due to the mosque, madrasa and house, the land of the river port was not found in Srimantpur. Later it was decided that the use of Srimantpur land port will be as intersection: Tripura will be added to the inter-domestic waterway.

The Sonamura river port will be opened with the permission of the customs department to use the wire house here. The head of the high-level delegation of the Central Ship Ministry, said that the Indian side along with Bangladesh has international agreements to use the country's waterways. It includes Guwahati and Karimganj with Kolkata. Now, the discussion involving Tripura Sonamura is with Bangladesh. Next month, a technical team will go to Bangladesh to see how the Gomati River is in the state.

Gomati River - End point with Meghna River at Daudkandi:

If digging is needed, then the government of India will dig it. When the ships are coming to Sonamura? Rabindro Kumar Singh, joint director of the Central Ship Ministry (Internal Waterways) Division, could not say anything correctly. He said the inspection has just begun. Need to see the course of the river. The two countries will made a contract. Then Tripura will be connected with the Indian inter-domestic waterway.
