Bangladesh is divided by thousands of large and small rivers and has more unstable land. There are more logistical issues to deal with when it comes to developing transportation in Bangladesh than in Pakistan.

She is (or at least was) a British citizen. She wasn't even born in Bangladesh. Best course of action would have been to allow her children to remain in foster care in Britain with new names. Who cares where the mother ends up. She's not our problem.

What a wise business move, shipping off fridges to a country currently experiencing a famine.

Countries half as rich as us don't have anywhere near the same problems we do, and a lot of it stems down to overpopulation.

What a joke. Not a single young person would ever vote for her. The traffic protest mess put the lid on the coffin for her popularity with the youth. The vast majority of Bangladeshi youth are completely fed up with both parties.

This information is outdated. Land swap agreement already fixed the border mess.

And from which planet up his *** did he pull these numbers out of?

Not sure where they got the numbers of GDP per capita growth for the two countries. Bangladesh GDP per capita growth between 2013 and 2016 was 29.9% not 39% and India's growth during those years was 15.4% (Im using World Bank figures). Very significant advances though, but one can say that's...

Looking forward to seeing the headline for the inauguration of the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Tier 4 Data Center. /s

Lots of great progress coming out of Chittagong (Karnaphuli Tunnel, AKT Flyover, Jamburi Park, Patenga, etc.) What I loved about the city compared to Dhaka is that there is still a lot of green spaces left. Hopefully the city does something to retain them and turn them into enrichment and...

Companyganj. What a name!

December 2019 my ***.

Great to see that a Bangladeshi tech company is progressing!

Pardon my ignorance, but does it normally cost ~$3bn to build a single LNG power plant? Sounds incredibly expensive.

Doesn't this sound fishy to anyone? 8.4% to 10.7% is roughly 2-3 million people within 6 years. The total population of the country went from 153M to 165M within that same time. You're telling me a quarter of all people born or immigrating to Bangladesh in the past 6 years were Hindu?

This is ridiculous. Why do we need opera houses in Bangladesh?

Developing East Dhaka doesn't make Dhaka liveable. That's like saying you fixed your old car by buying a whole new car.

Most of the development in Chittagong is either in it's early stages or hasn't even begun yet. What substantial development has the city made in the past decade? The roads and waterlogging in CTG is even worse than it is Dhaka and I don't see the city expanding like what Dhaka is doing in Uttara...

It's been a long time coming, but Bangladesh finally pulled it off! Just goes to show how much progress Bangladesh has made in these past 2 decades.

As they should be. Less cars means less traffic. This should hopefully incentivize ride sharing services and rentals.
