Third Terminal at Dhaka Airport | The country will change


The construction work of the Dhaka airport third terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka is going on at high-speed ignoring the rainy weather of Corona epidemic. Bangladesh will change in this dazzling mega project. By June 2022, around 42 percent of the project has been completed. The third terminal with its unique in architectural style, will be inaugurated in October 2023.

The government wants to make a splash by inaugurating this mega project before the next parliamentary elections. With the launch of the Dhaka airport Third Terminal, Bangladesh's prestige and importance will increase internationally. The project participants are hoping that the work of this project, which is 3 percent ahead of the construction target, will be completed ahead of time. In this regard, the chairman of the Civil Aviation, Air Vice Marshal. Mofidur Rahman told Newspapers, ‘Airport is the mirror of any country. When a tourist comes to a country, he first evaluates the country by looking at the airport. If the airport is modern, the image of the country seems to be developed. Bangladesh is moving forward under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The inauguration of the third terminal will add another feather to the country's progresses’.


The Padma Bridge is pride of Bangladesh. The Dhaka airport Third Terminal will further enhance our dignity. So far 42 percent of the work of this project has been completed. Work is ahead of target. Work will move forward faster this year. The structure of the terminal building has been completed and various additions to the interior works are underway. The Third Terminal Structurally will be inaugurated in October next year after completing the work as per the target. It could take up to the middle of next year to make the entire airport functional by connecting all the equipment and accessories. There is a lot of work to be done to make functioning an airport. The construction of the Dhaka airport third terminal was a promise made by the Prime Minister to the people, and we are working hard to fulfill it. '

A tour of the Dhaka airport Third Terminal project area reveals that more than 3,000 pillars of the terminal were erected last year. Now the infrastructure of the terminal is being built on these. Due to this, the progress of the project can be seen from the road adjacent to the airport. Sitting on the pillars is a designed black steel sheet. The Third Terminal building is standing on its own two feet with the help of sophisticated equipment and workers.


When the third terminal will be inaugurated, many planes will come to the runway at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. There is one runway at the airport. Construction of two additional high-speed taxiways has been undertaken to reduce the durability of the aircraft on the runway and enable it to park faster. The plan was to complete the work by June. But the work was completed in the first week of May, project officials said.

Work is going on for 16 hours a day in two shifts of eight hours to complete the project before the scheduled time. Various initiatives have been taken to protect workers from the Corona epidemic. Arrangements have been made for the workers to stay in the project area. Although some workers were affected, they have returned to work after recovering from regular treatment. As a result, there was no interruption in the work. Although many projects have been delayed in the hands of Corona, the work of this mega project is ahead of the target.

The Dhaka airport third terminal project is being jointly implemented by Japanese manufacturer Simuji and Korean company Samsung. According to the Civil Aviation Authority, the two terminals at Hazrat Shahjalal Airport currently have a passenger capacity of about 7 million a year. If the third terminal is built, this number will be close to 20 milion. In this terminal of five lac forty two thousand square meters, aprons (space for parking planes) are being constructed to hold 37 planes simultaneously. The terminal building will be 2 lakh 30 thousand square meters. Inside the building there will be touches of all the significant and sophisticated technologies of the world. The terminal under construction will be fitted with several straight escalators. This arrangement is for those who cannot walk long distances inside the airport. These escalators are widely used in the world's most sophisticated airports, including Singapore and Bangkok. This will give passengers a quiet and smooth ride experience.


Metrorail will be connected to the Dhaka airport third terminal. A separate station will also be built. Through this, passengers coming to Bangladesh will be able to go to their destination by metro rail without leaving the airport. There will be a baby care lounge in front of each washroom in the terminal. Inside the lounge will be the mothers' breastfeeding booth, a large family bathroom. In addition, there will be various arrangements for children to play, including slippers and swings. There will be health inspection facilities, first-aid rooms for first aid, various disease testing centers and isolation areas.

According to project sources, the cost of the project is Tk 21,399 crore. The government will provide 5,258 crore rupees for the total expenditure and JICA will provide 16,141 crore rupees as a loan. The design of the Dhaka airport third terminal has a sufficient number of accelerators, substations and lifts attached. There will be radar, control tower, operation building, multi-storey car park. The three-storey terminal building will bring a unique aesthetic to the architecture. The exterior will have a dazzling design.

Thanks,

Padma Bridge | A Nation's Dream and Pride


Dreams and reality come together at one point. The south door of the country has opened. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina opened the gates of Padma Bridge. With the launch of the Padma bridge, 21 districts in the south and south-west were connected to the capital of Bangladesh. New doors of connection, communication and possibilities have been opened. Speaking at the inauguration ceremony today (25 June, 2022), the Prime Minister said, ‘This bridge is not just a brick-cement-concrete structure; This bridge is our pride. It’s a symbol of ability, a symbol of dignity.'

The dream Padma Bridge will be open for public traffic from 6 am on 26 June, 2022. On the historic day of the inauguration of the Padma Bridge, the Prime Minister called upon all to take an oath to work for the welfare of the country and the people of the country. On the occasion of the inauguration of the Padma Bridge, a gathering was organized at the end of Mawa. Prominent people including government ministers, speakers, politicians, diplomats and academics were present at the gathering. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina arrived at the venue around 10 am.

Slogans like 'My bridge with my money, Padma bridge in Bangladesh' or 'Construction of Padma bridge, Sheikh Hasina's contribution' were shining on the stage of the inauguration ceremony of Padma bridge. After the commencement of the pre-survey in 1998, the initiative to build the bridge was hampered step by step. The Padma Bridge is a symbol of wonder built over the walls of all obstacles.

The Prime Minister was accompanied by Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader, Prime Minister's Economic Adviser Moshiur Rahman, former Communications Minister Syed Abul Hossain and former Bridge Secretary Mosharraf Hossain Bhuiyan. Prime Minister's daughter Saima Wazed was also present at the time.


Besides unveiling the plaque of the bridge, the Prime Minister also inaugurated Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his mural. At this time colorful smoke is blowing in the sky. The Prime Minister herself chanted 'Joy Bangla', 'Joy Bangabandhu'. Everyone present applauded. Then the Prime Minister's convoy climbed the Padma Bridge again. Crossing the bridge, she went to the Jazira end.

The Prime Minister unveiled commemorative stamps, souvenir sheets, inaugural envelopes and special seals on the occasion of the grand inauguration of the Padma Bridge project built with the country's own funds. Posts and Telecommunications Minister Mustafa Jabbar, Post Secretary Khalilur Rahman and Director General of the Postal Department Faizul Azim were present on the stage.

The Prime Minister also unveiled a special commemorative note of Tk 100 of Bangladesh Bank on the occasion of inauguration of Padma Bridge. Governor of Bangladesh Bank Fazle Kabir was present at the time. The Prime Minister took pictures with the people associated with the bridge on the stage. A replica of the Padma Bridge was also presented to the Prime Minister by the company constructing the Padma Bridge.

After that, the Prime Minister was the first person to unveil the inaugural plaque and mural-1 of the Padma Bridge at the Mawa end of the toll road and participate in the munajat. Saima Wazed, the daughter of the Prime Minister and a pioneer of the autism movement in Bangladesh, was with her at the time. As the Prime Minister was passing by with her convoy, she descended along the middle of the bridge and witnessed the rippling waves of the bridge and the intoxicating Padma. During this time she also enjoyed a pleasant display of the Air Force.


In her speech before the inauguration of the Padma Bridge, the Prime Minister said, "The strength of the people is a great strength. I started the construction of the Padma Bridge with that strength. People are the address of my courage. I salute the people for the successful construction of the Padma Bridge."

Sheikh Hasina said, "The construction of this bridge was delayed for two years due to conspiracy. But we have never been discouraged. And in the end we were able to break through all the darkness and travel the path of light. Today red-blue light flashes on Padma's chest. 42 pillars, this pillar is like a reflection of Bangladesh. '

The Prime Minister wished forgiveness of the souls and peace of soul of the deceased including Professor Jamilur Reza Chowdhury involved in the construction of Padma Bridge and conveyed deep sympathy to their family members.

Sheikh Hasina said, "There were many comments, how can I do it again with my own funds?" The idea was that this Bangladesh would be dependent for the rest of its life, and would have to depend on the mercy of others. I'm grateful that the Father of the Nation has taught us to live with self-respect. The Padma Bridge is a multipurpose road-rail bridge across the Padma River to be constructed in Bangladesh.

 

Thanks,

Real Estate Companies in Bangladesh are Rising


During the COVID-19 Corona virus period, buyers in the housing and real estate industry of Bangladesh are increasing. Entrepreneurs in the sector saying that the demand for buyers has increased so much in recent times that top class Real Estate companies in Bangladesh do not have unsold flats. Companies that had stopped building construction work for so long have now come forward and resumed their construction.

Demand from buyers is on the rise as the government provides undisclosed investment facilities in the housing sector. Currently, the highest demand for Apartment / Flats in Bangladesh is among government employees. Some investors demand land and plots. In such a situation, the concerned companies have demanded to reduce the interest and registration cost of loans in the housing sector to 7 percent. The real estate sector in Bangladesh is now a lucrative investment destination for buyers and investors. The registration cost of buying flats and plots is now 10 percent and it comes with single digit or one digit interest loan.

In this regard, Real Estate and Housing Association of Bangladesh-REHAB President Alamgir Shamsul Alamin Kajal said that the real estate companies in Bangladesh are now getting good response from buyers. The situation is such that even good companies are not able to sell flats to the buyers. Buyers are growing every day in recent times. Interest in buying flats and plots is increasing among them. As a result, many companies are taking up new projects to build flats inside Dhaka, Chattogram and other cities across the country.


The undisclosed income is also being invested in the housing sector. Owners of companies are demands the interest rate on bank loans and registration cost of flats and plots should be reduced to 7 percent. Some banks are now keen to lend. Some banks are giving loans at 7 percent interest rate. The recovery in the housing sector is also boosting the overall economy.

Business in the housing industry is coming back. Buyers respond more than ever. This is due to two reasons- one is that money laundering has decreased during the Corona period. Another is the government's undisclosed investments facilities for two consecutive financial years. All in all, the real estate company in Bangladesh is now in a good position.

JCX Developments Limited is a state-of-the-art flat builder in the country's elite Bashundhara residential area inside Dhaka city. Iqbal Hossain Chowdhury, the managing director of the company and director of FBCCI, a top organization of businessmen, told that there has been a lot of demand from buyers for good quality flats in recent times. This demand has been created mainly due to undisclosed money investment facilities. As a result, there is a huge interest of buyers for flats in Bashundhara R/A.

Investors have lots of interest for both ready and used flats in Dhaka city. Some searching keyword in Google are: Used flat sale in dhaka, Low price flat in dhaka, Flat sale in dhanmondi, Studio apartment in dhaka, Used flat sale in mirpur, Ready flat for sale in mohammadpur dhaka, Ready flat sale in dhaka, Flat for sale in dhaka uttara, Flat sale in banasree, Dhaka housing adabor etc.


In the national budget for the fiscal year 2020-2021, the legal directive to allow higher revenue and economic activity in the private sector said that no matter what is in the country's customary law, no one can raise any question about the investment of undisclosed money. To take such an opportunity, taxpayers have to invest undisclosed money in land, flats, buildings and apartments, banks, savings certificates, stock exchanges, bonds or any other such securities.

Japan will build Smart City in Bangladesh


Smart cities, are the result of the growing importance of orienting our life toward sustainability. There are different parameters by which a city ranks more highly than another. To achieve this 10 key dimensions are considered: Governance, urban planning, public management, technology, environment, international projection, social cohesion, mobility and transportation, human capital and economy.

The development of 'smart cities' has been a top priority for many countries and Bangladesh may soon join their ranks. In a bilateral meeting with Bangladesh's ICT Minister Junaid Ahmed Palak and the Japanese Ambassador Naoki expressed Japan's interest in building a smart city in Bangladesh. Last year Japan has set aside a 250 billion yen (US$ 2.4 billion) fund to support Smart City projects by Japanese companies and improve decarbonization measures in 26 cities across ASEAN.

According to Mr. Naoki, Japan has contributed in many sectors, including infrastructural development of Bangladesh. There are currently more than 300 Japanese companies operating in Bangladesh - three times as much as in the last 10 years.


Japan is the largest Asian export market for Bangladesh, amounting to USD 1.3 billion. Despite the many challenges posed by the Covid-19 epidemic, Japanese companies are ready to expand their business in Bangladesh.

Naoki called for the development of strategic relations to further enhance cooperation between the two countries. He said that ICT sector is now the main driving force of the economy of Bangladesh. The Japan International Cooperative Agency (JICA) can further enrich Bangladesh's plan to become a developed economy by the year 2041 by assisting in the development of technology-dependent human resources.

Naoki emphasized the importance of collaboration to further expand cooperation between the two countries through the development of strategic partnerships between Japan and Bangladesh.

To further strengthen Bangladesh's ICT sector, ICT Minister Junaid Ahmed Palak made a number of proposals to the Ambassador, including on cyber security, e-waste management and e-governance. Palak said, "We have already sent a proposal to ERD to set up a Bangladesh-Japan ICT University,".


Japan has allocated 2.4 billion to support Japanese companies in the Smart City project and the development of carbon-free systems in 28 ASEAN cities. Tokyo expects all 26 cities to present their smart city projects by the end of this year, and eligible projects will be selected by March.

Japan expected these 26 cities across ASEAN to present their Smart City development plans at the end of last year, with eligible projects to be picked by March this year. It also expects Japanese companies to have basic plans for these cities with feasibility studies conducted. However, at the time of writing, its progress is still unclear
