The minister said, “I have been in charge of the ministry for the last three years. But no one from Comilla raised the issue of a railway line from Narayanganj to Comilla. The Prime Minister believes in development. If the people of Comilla wanted, the Narayanganj - Comilla railway line would have been built already. This would have reduced the distance of Dhaka - Chittagong railway by about 70 km”. He said that the people of Comilla are very lucky. Huge number of expatriates from Cumilla area lives all over the world. If the people want, they can unite and play a role in the development of the Comilla zone.

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.

Khadi or Khaddar Fabrics | Tradition of Cumilla

The Khadi / Khaddar of cumilla have been known as special and famous since ancient times in the history. This weaving cloth was also exported abroad after met the demand of the country. A professional community was involved in the weaving industry from the beginning. Locally they were called as 'Yogi' or 'Debnath'. During the time of Mahatma Gandhi non-cooperation movement in British India and due to some historical reasons, Khadi industry grew rapidly and gained popularity in the region.

That time, Khadi / Khaddar cloth was made from cotton of Rangamati. There was many Yogi or Debnath families living in Chandina, Devbidwar, Burichang and Cumilla Sadar upazila of the district. When Gandhiji called for the exclusion of foreign textiles, there was a huge response in Comilla area and the production of Khadi cloth increased a lot. The khadi clothes of Comilla were spreading in different parts of the country. These fabrics gained popularity as a brand called Comilla's khadi / Khadi of Cumilla.

The Abhay Ashram of Mahatma Gandhi in Comilla played an important role in promoting the Khadi industry across the India sub-continent. Abhay Ashram was established as a social welfare institute and established as a shelter ground for the practice. When the call for the exclusion of foreign cloth began to cut in large quantities, the yarn was produced a lot using Charka. Abhay Ashram then sold the Charka in local Bazaar and also was making khadi cloths themselves. Khadi cloth that was made in different villages started to be marketed through Abhay Ashram.

History says, an eight hand tall dhoti was sold for only five paisa in the period of 1926-27. At that time, Comilla Abhay Ashram sold khadi clothes more than worth about Taka 9 lac. According to the writings of late Rabindra Sangeet singer, an activist of Abhay Ashram, Parimal Dutt said that even though there was huge demand which was not completely fulfilled from the supply of Abhay Ashram.

Due to the rapid demand for khadi, holes were drilled in the ground beneath the foot-driven paddle of taat boutique machine. The cloth that originates from this hole or alloy was called Khadi. Thus the origin of the name became Khadi. Gradually this cloth gained fame in the name of Khadi or Khaddar.

The golden age of the Khadi industry was after the 1971 independence. Soon there was a crisis. Huge numbers of war-torn taat garments were closed. In order to meet the demand for textiles, there was a lot of pressure on handmade weaving cloth in such an import depended country. Although the production of khadi was not widespread in comparison to the needs of the people of the country. Weavers in the villages around the center of Chandina started making mattresses, curtains and cloths etc.

Before independence, the demand for khadi was as widespread as winter clothing. As a result of the demand for khadi clothing, some of the area's past government owned the yarn as a middleman in plundering the profits by obtaining licenses. Due to the lack of yarn and paint at affordable prices, the actual weavers were forced to change their original occupation at that time. The power loom based textile industry developed in the country in the mid-eighties. As a result, the ultra-varieties of garments produced a lot. Use of polyester, rayon, viscose, acrylic yarn etc increased. Duty-free foreign textiles was importing for export-oriented garments. In this way, the clothes that spread out of the name of Khadi were lost in the extinction alloy.

Although the khadi industry in Comilla is widely spread, this industry was primarily a cottage industry. Rural brides used to cut the charka to produce yarn and sold it to the weavers to earn extra income. The old man who could not work, the adolescent who did not have the opportunity to work as a labor outside, also had the opportunity to earn extra income in the world by cutting cotton yarn using Charka.

The weavers and the Khadi traders urged the government to immediately take measures to protect the industry and feared that it may go extinct otherwise. The weavers and traders have been demanding to keep this traditional cloth alive by injecting funds and training the craftsmen.

Thanks,

Shalbon | Salon Forest in Cumilla | Tourist Attraction

As special tourism area can be built by taking some steps around Salon / Shalvan / Shalbon Forests of Comilla regions. Near the border area of Comilla there are three and one natural forest in Kotbari area.

Tourists / Visitors can enter the Rajeshpur forest bit though buying tickets. The green nature and birds will enthrall the visitors with the environment. But improvements of infrastructure and other facilities will increase the convenience of the visitors.

There are lots various known and not known birds in the border area of ​​the Jambari forest area. Here some visitors visit by their own initiative. The forest office and staff quarters are broken. Local people of Jambari are using these for cows and goats.

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,
