Dhaka-Cox’s Bazar train service likely to boost tourism

[X-ray Papa]

Unlike you, I see everything in its proper perspective and try not to appease the related authorities of the GoB, and to you, I am a faggot because it is your inferior Boddu mind that gets destabilized when I do not share many of you guys colored vision of the country. With my father, I have lived in many of the railway stations and I know better than many of you about railways who do not know beyond their villages.

Did I say any wrong when I proposed the station platforms need to be raised to the level of the coach floors? Did I say wrong when I said the train coaches should not be compartmentalized like now and rather, it should be open where the passengers can walk freely from one end to the other?

The thread is about trains and I said my opinion and you started abusing me. It is better to be civic instead of remaining a lifetime uncultured Boddu.

However colorful you guys will portray the underdeveloped country I will try to contribute by giving good suggestions irrespective of what people like you would comment. I am not here for raising my popularity.

How old are you Sir?

Ah yes the South Korean model , but seriously we need to hurry up and start to industrialize and start making valuable goods like BEVs,smartphones,Military Equipment etc and start exporting them.

Cannot rely on govt on doing anything. All they’re good at is taking credits. Bangladesh’s future depends on people so private ventures

Dhaka-Cox’s Bazar train service likely to boost tourism

Unveiling a fresh route with the potential of attracting both foreign and domestic tourists, the government is set to launch a Dhaka to Cox’s Bazar train service at the end of next year.

The fresh initiative is expected to further boost tourism to the coastal beach town famous for its long, unbroken stretch of natural sandy sea beach, at the southern tip of Bangladesh.

The installation of rail tracks for the route will be concluded by December 2022, Railways Minister Nurul Islam Sujan told UNB.

“Visitors will be able to travel on train direct from Dhaka to Cox’s Bazar next year. Although the project term was fixed until June 2022, I’m keeping six months in hand,” Sujan said.

Two Bangladesh Railway projects are among the ten megaprojects sketched by the government, the minister informed, adding: “One is to install rail tracks from Dohazari to Cox’s Bazar.”

Once it opens, the railway’s expansion in the tourism hotspot of the region will be expanded significantly and at the same time it will contribute for the advancement of the country.

To attract the tourists railway stations will be decorated lucratively and safety of the commuters will be ensured, Nurul Islam said.

An iconic railway station will be built spending Tk 2.15 billion in the shape of an oyster where all international standard facilities will be available, he said.

The railway track will stretch to Ghumdum near Myanmar via Ramu, which will later be extended until China, the minister stated.

Project Director (PD) Md Mofijur Rahman said Dohazari-Cox’s Bazar-Ghumdum Railway is a mega project of the government which has been categorized among the fast track projects prioritized by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

“We are working on to launch the rail track by 2022 and around 49 percent work of the project has been completed until January 31 this year,” the project director said.

“Currently cutting of soil, constructing bridge, station, culvert, level crossing and an iconic building in Cox’s Bazar are all underway,” he added.

The project will ease tourism to Cox’s Bazar, triggering a boost in the socioeconomic condition of the region, he insisted.

BR will provide secure, comfortable and cheap transportation for the commuters. Besides, it will facilitate cheap and easy transportation of fish, raw materials of paper, forest and agricultural products.

The 128-kilometer railway route will have nine railway stations dotting the way, at Satkania, Lohagora, Chakaria, Dulahazra, Eidgao, Ramu, Cox’s Bazar Sadar, Ukhiya, and Ghumdum.

All the railway stations will have computer-based interlock signal system and digital telecommunication system.

Moreover, three large bridges will be built over the Sangu, Matamuhuri and Bankhali Rivers, along with 43 small bridges, 201 culverts and 144 level crossings.

Two highway crossings will be constructed in Ramu and Cox’s Bazar and a flyover at Kewchiya area of Satkania.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina laid thefoundation of the railway project in April 2011, and the budget for the railway project was fixed at Tk 183.5 million

A total of 88 kilometres of rail track will be installed from Dohazari to Ramu, 12 kilometre from Ramu to Cox’s Bazar and 28 kilometres from Ramu to Ghumdum.

BD is doing great when it comes to smartphones.

Yes it does need to industrialise a little quicker but thinking that BD can match the rate of S Korea and Taiwan may be too optimistic. Those countries had US as big-brother that supplied tech, capital and ready market which is not the case with BD.

The U.S did help but also South Korea did most of the work , we got China now that can help us getting the tech ?

BD isn't too different from Taiwan or Korea

Bruh the last thing the GOB wants is powerful corporations who can go against the government lol. Haven't you seen the U.S companies deciding who will be the next President ?

Unless it's a China model where companies rise but the leader is still mostly in charge

China won't open up its vast market for BD imports like USA did with S Korea and Taiwan.

Yes those two countries did most of the work, but without US help they would not be nearly as successful.

Laying rail track started.

So how can our electronics get to the level of the Taiwanese , more money on R&D ?

BD does have an advantage over both Korea and Taiwan and that is a home market with many times more population.

Walton built itself up in the BD domestic market and then made slow strides overseas. The ever growing home market will bring in the revenue that Walton needs to invest in the necessary R&D to one day hopefully compete with the leaders in the field of electronics.

Hopefully that's Walton's plan , Walton can also get into the weapons market with maybe radars or electronic warfare or something like that idk lol
