There will be Railway Line from Narayanganj to Cumilla

Railway Minister Nurul Islam Sujan said the government has plans to build a railway line from Narayanganj to Cumilla. 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. 

He was speaking at the inaugural function of the 24-km long dual gauge Comilla - Laksham section between the Akhaura - Laksam 72-km double-line dual gauge rail line on 25 September. The dual gauge was inaugurated by the Mahanagar Express train moved towards Chittagong.

Director General of Railways Department Dhirendranath Majumdar presided over the ceremony, other guests were MP of Comilla-5 Abul Hashem, Railway Secretary Selim Reza, Chief Engineer of Railways Subakta Gin, Chief Engineer of Max Golam Ahmed and Minister's wife Shammi Akter.

The Minister further said that development of communication system does not mean development of roads only. Development of communication system means development of integrated communication system. The government has focused on the development of an integrated development system. The need for meter gauge trains is declining now a days. So the railways across the country will be converted to dual gauge line.

He also said that work is ongoing of the dual gauge line from Dohazari to Cox's Bazar. Dual gauge will also be constructed from Chittagong to Dohazari. Railways have been undergoing extensive development since the formation of the Ministry of Railways in 2011. There is a railway line in Padma bridge, there is a railway line in Bangabandhu bridge, Khulna - Mongla railway line has been built, there will be a railway line on Bhanga - Mawa bridge, the work of metro rail is ongoing fast. Work on the 72 km double line dual gauge from Akhaura to Laksam will be completed by June 2023. The Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will inaugurate it.

The railway is upgrading the 82 km long railway line from Akhaura to Laksam in Comilla zone to dual gauge double line at a cost of BDT 6,505 crore. Of which work of 24 km from Comilla to Laksam junction of the district has been completed. It was opened to traffic through the inauguration on 25 September 2021. Construction work of the remaining 48 km is underway. Which has been planned to be completed by June 2023.

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,

Homna Upazila Health Complex | First Successful Operation

After nearly 40 years for the first time, the first surgery in Comilla's Homna Upazila Health Complex was successfully done. After the successful surgery a pregnant woman has became a mother at the Operation Theater on last week.

The health complex was opened on 19 July in 1979. There was no surgery operation was done in the hospital for about last 40 years. Due to absence of an operation theater in the government hospital, many people in the Homna Upazila and the surrounding areas have suffered. However by the successful cesarean operation and birth of a baby has changed the history of the hospital.

According to Health Department and local sources and newspapers, the patient name was Zobeda Akter, wife of Saddam Hossein of Alipur village under Homna Upazila. She was was admitted to the Upazila Health Complex last week. She became the first mother. Naturally fear and anxiety were working among maternity and kin. However, after three hours with the help of three doctors, three senior nurses and staffs, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl by a cesarean operation.

According to newspapers report, the condition of the mother was not in good shape. Fluid intake was greatly reduced. The newborn's movement and condition were somewhat more complicated than the normal delivery phase. In such a case, the relatives of the patient thought about having a cesarean operation in an outside clinic. But the patient's family was not financial solvent.

The operation theater of the hospital was fully prepared in the last 15 days of the first operation. Health and Family Planning Officer Dr. Sarfaraz Hossain Khan (Anesthesiologist), Dr. Akhtar Alam (Surgeon), Dr. Subrata, senior staff nurse Jahanara, Jasmine, Rumi Akhter, OT Boy Monir Hossain and Ruhul Amin helped a lot of the successful cesarean operation of the maternity ward. And by this operation the Operation Theater has opened for the first time. It met the 40 years expectations of the people of Homna upazilas.

After the operation the Health and Family Planning Officer Dr. Sarfaraz Hossain Khan said, "After a long period of 40 years, we successfully conducted a cesarean operation with trained doctors and nurses at the government hospital. However, they had to buy medicines from outside. At present both mother and baby condition is well.

The Comilla district Civil Surgeon Mojibur Rahman said regarding this matter that it was good news for patients of Homna and surrounding areas. Patients will now be able to take advantage of almost every possible operation, including a caesarean.
