Purbachal New Town 'to be ready by 2018'

The Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha is planning to complete the development works of Purbachal New Town project by the end of next year.
Around 80 percent of the land development work has been completed. Possession of some 13,000 plots out of the total 25,016 has been handed over to allottees, said Rajuk officials.
“We have already spent around Tk 2,700 crore to step up the implementation of the project,” ASM Raihanul Ferdous, chief engineer of Rajuk, told The Daily Star.
However, the city planner is conducting feasibility studies on the project's water treatment and waste management plants.
It is implementing the Tk 7,700 crore project on around 6,000 acres of land to create residential accommodation for around 1.5 million people.
The Rajuk had conducted a feasibility study on the project around 26 years ago. In 1992, it started acquiring land for the project and the development work began in 2007.
Purbachal New Town is located between the Shitalakhya and the Balu rivers in Rupganj of Narayanganj and Kaliganj of Gazipur.
The project area is divided into 30 sectors, with 21.66 percent for commercial, educational and sporting institutions, 25.90 percent for road, island and footpath and 13.70 percent for lakes, parks and forest, the chief engineer said.
Ujjwal Mallick, additional director of the project, blamed the slow implementation of the project on sluggish acquisition of land. According to him, it took Rajuk about 16 years to do the job.

“We have already installed overhead electricity cables in the project area to supply power to 13,000 plots,” he said.
About supply of gas, Raihan said an LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) bank would be set up in each of the 30 sectors to supply bottled LPG to households.
Development of lakes, canals, internal road, drains and installation of street lamps were underway, the Rajuk official added.
Bangladesh Navy has been tasked with the construction of 62 bridges in the project area. Of them, 30 have already been built and two are under construction.
The project area is linked to the capital by a 300-feet expressway which is connected to the Airport Road via Pragati Sarani intersection.
Ujjwal said many businesses and government offices, like the headquarters of Fire Service and Civil Defence, would be relocated to Purbachal.
Two police lines and four police stations will be set up at some strategic points in the town to maintain law and order.
The government has planned to build 142-storey Iconic Tower on 75 acres of land in Purbachal. The building will have an international convention centre and a modern sports complex, among other facilities.
The Rajuk official said once the project is completed, it would facilitate trade and commerce and create jobs.
Around 144 acres of land have been earmarked by Rajuk for reserved forest. Only 38 percent space of the total project area would be used for housing purpose, he told this correspondent.
Besides, 62,000 flats will be built on 90 acres of land for low income people.

Another part of the Moghbazar-Mouchak flyover in Dhaka, that connects Hatirjheel to Sonargaon intersection, has been opened to public.
LGRD Minister Khandakar Mosharraf Hossain opened the 850 meter section of the flyover this morning and hoped that it would help ease traffic.
On March 30 last year, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the first part of the flyover that stretched two kilometres from Saatrasta to Shaheed Captain Mansur Ali Avenue.
The total length of the Mouchak-Moghbazar flyover is 8.7 kilometres.

3rd terminal at HSIA on cards
Tk 136.14b project now under scrutiny of PC
FHM Humayan Kabir
The government will build the third terminal at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka at a cost of Tk 136.14 billion to handle 12 million passengers by 2025, officials said Saturday.
Officials said the state-run Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) recently sent a project proposal in this regard to the Planning Commission (PC) seeking its approval for starting construction works.
"We signed a deal with a Japanese consulting firm last month to help prepare the design for the terminal, float tender and supervise the terminal construction job," Nurul Islam, a Director of the CAAB told the FE.
Tender will be invited shortly for expansion of the HSIA, he added.
Meanwhile, Japanese development partner -- the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) -- has assured Bangladesh of building the runway and developing related infrastructures of the Dhaka airport.
An official said after construction of the 3rd terminal, Bangladesh's largest airport HSIA would be able to handle 12 million passengers and 0.434 million units of cargoes by 2025 against its current capacity of 8.0 million passengers and 0.258 million units of cargoes annually.
"We have sent a Tk 136.14 billion project proposal to the PC. Japan has assured us of providing the major part, amounting to Tk 112.15 billion, of the total cost of the project. Soon after getting approval from the government, we will go for construction works of the Terminal-3," he added.
The construction would not require acquisition of new land.
Currently, the HSIA, which started its operation in 1980, has two old and outmoded terminals where providing world-class services to air passengers is quite difficult.
Besides, the existing facilities of the Dhaka airport could not handle new generation aircraft like B747-8F; and B777-300ER.
A Korea-Singapore-Bangladesh joint venture consulting company has already conducted the feasibility study, updated the Master Plan on HSIA which suggested expanding the airport to meet the growing aircraft flow, a CAAB official said.
The CAAB official said the consulting firm in its study showed that the air traffic growth at HSIA is one of the fastest in Asia requiring a massive upgradation of the airport.
The consulting firm has also prepared the detailed design for the Terminal-3, he added.
"Now the newly-appointed Japanese consulting firm will update the design and necessary other works for the HSIA. It will also prepare a document for inviting tender as soon as possible. The firm will also supervise entire construction work of the Terminal-3," CAAB Director Nurul Islam said.
According to the project proposal, the CAAB will build the 3rd terminal, multi-level car parking with tunnel, new cargo complex, VVIP complex, parking apron at Terminal-3 area, taxiways etc.
The CAAB has taken a target to build the 3rd terminal by June 2022.
A PC official said they are scrutinising the 'Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport expansion project phase-1' of the CAAB.
"If the project is found viable and important for the economy, we will place it before the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) for getting approval," he added.
JICA inks $1.59b deal for 6 projects
JICA will provide Bangladesh a 178.223-billion yen (about $1.59 billion) as loan for six infrastructure projects.
Bangladesh will spend the funds on airport expansion, bridges, mass rapid transit system, power plant, underground power substation and water resources, JICA said on its website.
An agreement has been signed in this regard between the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Bangladesh government.
The six projects are:
JICA said it will continue to support efforts in Bangladesh to remove barriers to further economic growth and overcome social vulnerability.
The concessional loans are to be repaid in 30 years, with a grace period of 10 years.

Great animation and plan, but boat and yacht quays (marinas) are typically inside an enclosed breakwater (outer wall) and not open to the ocean. This is so tidal surges cant damage boats.
Piers are open to the ocean but very high (over twenty feet height) and cannot be used as boat quays. There are differences which the animator needs to know.
Here is Santa Monica pier,
