Chittagong to get 17-kilometre elevated expressway
Looking for an alternative route amid increasing port activities, Chittagong Development Authority (CDA) and Chittagong Port Authority (CPA) have jointly planned to take up a 17-kilometer elevated expressway project to connect Karnaphuli
Bridge and Patenga beach with at least five landing stations. CDA Chairman Abdus Salam put forward a proposal to the prime minister for constructing the elevated expressway to create alternative routes in the commercially important port city. The route – Karanaphuli Bridge to Airport through CDA Avenue-Sheikh Mujib Road – is the key road in the port city of Chittagong as airport-bound passengers face immense sufferings due to absence of alternative routes. “We do not have any alternative route to CDA Avenue-Sheikh Mujib Road. Considering the future rush of mechanised transport movement following increased port activities, I put forward the proposal and the prime minister gave me a patient hearing,” the CDA chairman said. He also said the port authority used around 80% of the roads, while the remaining 20% was used by general purposes. “But the CPA has not spent a single taka for the road communication development in the city,” he alleged. Regarding the plan, he observed that delaying the plan would bring various difficulties to the country’s key sea port and the city. The port users, however, said there should be a proper planning to take forward the proposal with alternative provisions, ensuring maximum benefit from the project. “In fact, the elevated expressway is a very effective plan. But there should be a provision so that a suspension railway (elevated railway with hanging train cars) could be introduced below the expressway,” SM Nurul Hoque, vice- president of Bangladesh-Myanmar Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said. He also said the port authority needed to elicit opinions from city planners, experts and common people through online for better planning. “Port growth increases gradually. We need to have a planning right now to ensure maximum benefit for the port users and keep roads free from traffic jams,” he added. Another port user and former director of FBCCI M Amirul Haque said he did not have faith in the CPA, as it could not appoint an operator for the New Moorning Container Terminal in the last five years. “I do not think the CPA has the proper planning,” he added. Feature of Elevated Expressway The planned expressway will have five landing stations and the route will go through Karnaphuli Bridge-Firingibazar-Sadarghat-Barikbuilding-EPZ intersection-Cement Crossing-Kathghor-Patenga seashore. The CDA chairman said there would be landing stations at Firingibazar-Sadarghat-Bandar Bhaban-Barikbuilding-EPZ intersection so that people could communicate through New Market, Alkaran and Kotwali areas. Asked about the initial project cost, Abdus Salam said it would cost over Tk20bn. He also expressed hopes that the prime minister would make a formal announcement of the proposed project within the next couple of weeks. Meanwhile, sources at the political circle said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was expected to visit Chittagong on October 12 and she would make the announcement at a public rally there. - See more at: Chittagong to get 17-kilometre elevated expressway | Dhaka Tribune

Economy
Kolkata is the main commercial and financial hub of East and North-East India[57] and home to the Calcutta Stock Exchange.[79][80] It is a major commercial and military port, and is the only city in eastern India to have an international airport. Once India's leading city, Kolkata experienced a steady economic decline in the decades following India's independence due to steep population increases and a rise in militant trade-unionism, which included frequent strikes that were backed by left-wing parties.[48] From the 1960s to the late 1990s, several factories were closed and businesses relocated.[48] The lack of capital and resources added to the depressed state of the city's economy and gave rise to an unwelcome sobriquet: the "dying city".[81] The city's fortunes improved after the Indian economy was liberalised in the 1990s and changes in economic policy were enacted by the West Bengal state government.[48]
Flexible production has been the norm in Kolkata, which has an informal sector that employs more than 40% of the labour force.[14] One unorganised group, roadside hawkers, generated business worth ₹ 8,772 crore (US$ 2 billion) in 2005.[82] As of 2001, around 0.81% of the city's workforce was employed in the primary sector (agriculture, forestry, mining, etc.); 15.49% worked in the secondary sector (industrial and manufacturing); and 83.69% worked in the tertiary sector (service industries).[57]:19 As of 2003, the majority of households in slums were engaged in occupations belonging to the informal sector; 36.5% were involved in servicing the urban middle class (as maids, drivers, etc.), and 22.2% were casual labourers.[83]:11 About 34% of the available labour force in Kolkata slums were unemployed.[83]:11 According to one estimate, almost a quarter of the population live on less than 27 rupees (equivalent to 45 U.S. cents) per day.[84] As in many other Indian cities, information technology became a high-growth sector in Kolkata starting in the late 1990s; the city's IT sector grew at 70% per annum—a rate that was twice the national average.[48] The 2000s saw a surge of investments in the real estate, infrastructure, retail, and hospitality sectors; several large shopping malls and hotels were launched.[85][86][87][88][89] As of 2010, Kolkata, with an estimated gross domestic product (GDP) by purchasing power parity of 150 billion dollars, ranked third among South Asian cities, after Mumbai and Delhi.[90] Kolkata's GDP in 2014 was ₹1.84 trillion (equivalent to ₹1.8 trillion or US$28 billion in 2015), according to a collaborative assessment by multiple universities and climate agencies.[91]
Kolkata is home to many industrial units operated by large public- and private-sector corporations; major sectors include steel, heavy engineering, mining, minerals, cement, pharmaceuticals, food processing, agriculture, electronics, textiles, and jute. ITC Limited, Coal India Limited, National Insurance Company, Exide Industries and Britannia Industries rank among the companies headquartered in the city. The Tea Board of India and the Ordnance Factories Board of the Ministry of Defence are also headquartered in the city. Kolkata hosts the headquarters of three major public-sector banks: Allahabad Bank, UCO Bank, and the United Bank of India. Adoption of the "Look East" policy by the Indian government; opening of Sikkim's Nathu La mountain pass, which is located on the border between India and China, to bi-directional international trade; and the interest shown by South-East Asian countries in expanding into Indian markets are factors that could benefit Kolkata.[92][93]

Do you ever look up Dharavi with the search phrase "dharavi slum"? "dharavi" itself is good enough, "slum" is redundant! Same for bhuba whatever city.
Look at the pic in wikipedia for Barisal

Container handling of Kolkata port is 1/3 of Chittagong port, seriously? And they constructed Farakka barrage, drying out dozens of rivers and jeopardizing the lives of millions just for this useless Kolkata port?
