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.

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.

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.

API Industrial Park will boost up Bangladesh Medicine Industry

Recently, Bangladesh has made a tremendous expansion in the world's medicine market. The developed world never gave medicine to warped Bangladesh after 1971 once, but now drugs from Bangladesh is exporting to around 160 countries in the world after meeting its own demand which is around 98 percent. Now, like the RMG industry, the medicine industry of Bangladesh is being wiped out in Europe and America market.

During the post-independence period, we have seen the frustrating situation of the country in every sector including medicine. Capsule cells and ingredients powder was imported separately from and after filling up, it was sold inside the country. That time the situation was really dangerous. The capsules were made in the house and people took these drugs.

From that situation, now the medicines of Bangladesh have been elevated to such a stage that drugs and medicines made in Bangladesh are exporting to different countries around the world. At present in 48 countries of the world, Bangladesh is leading in the pharmaceutical products. Currently, 24,000 brand drugs are being produced in 257 Pharmaceuticals companies in Bangladesh.

These factories are manufacturing medicines and raw materials worth of more than BDT 25,000 Crore per year. There are about two Lac people are working in this industry. The Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) Industrial Park will be launched in next year to make this advancement faster. To establish an environmentally suitable Industrial Park for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients, the project is being implemented on 200 acres of land beside Dhaka – Chittagong National Highway (N1) in Baushia, Gajaria, Munshigonj.

There will be 42 number of plots in which Pharmaceutical Ingredients Manufacturing Industrial units will be set up. About 25,000 people will get employment opportunities in the project. All infrastructural facilities including Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) and waste Dumping Yard will be available in this zone.

According to the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) statistics, presently 46 companies exporting 300 types of medicines and to the world market. Now Bangladesh is dreaming of earning billions of dollars foreign remittance from the world medicine market.

The doors of new possibilities have been opened in the pharmaceutical industry. Medicines discount for Least Development Countries (LDC) increased for more 17 years. Bangladesh's Medicine Industry has got a merit discount till 2033. However, the present world market of medicine is around of 1000 billion US dollars. IQVIA, a multinational company based in United States is doing health-related information technology and clinical research. They conducted a survey on 204 approved pharmaceutical company’s drugs and their sells.

According to the survey of IQVIA, in 2018 the size of the drug market of Bangladesh has increased to BDT 20,512 Crore. From 2014 to 2018, the market's annual growth was 16.15 percent. The country's drug market is growing at an annual rate of 16.50 percent which is really amazing. The size of this market has crossed BDT 20,000 Crore in 2018, and 68 percent of this market is controlling by top 10 medicine companies. Most selling drugs on the market are antibiotics. Antibiotics are among the highest-selling medicines.

According to the Department of Drug Administration, in the last few years the export of medicines from the country has increased significantly. In 2011, the export was only BDT 426 crore. In the financial year 2017-18, export earnings were around US$ 10.44 Crore which is 16.03 percent more than the previous year. In 1982, the size of medicine industry in Bangladesh was BDT 170 crores only. In 2016, only the drug market in Bangladesh was BDT 15,600 Crores.

According to BSCIC, the work of setting up the country's first drug industry Park Activated Pharmaceutical Engineering (API) will be ending in 2020. This will meet the 100% demand of the country’s medicines. The country's first API Industrial Park is being established in Gazaria upazila of Munshiganj district, which is situated near the Meghna River and between the roadway of the Daudkandi and Meghna Bridge.

In order to achieve self-sufficiency in the production of raw material for the pharmaceutical industry, the government has taken initiative to establish this industrial park in 2008. To establish a factory here, 27 companies have been allocated from the Pharmaceuticals Industry Owners Association. The price of land per acre has been fixed at BDT one crore. Most of the owners have already paid a portion of the price of the plot allocated.

The country's pharmaceuticals industries will be able to start work in this zone within next two years.

Matarbari Deep Seaport and Power Hub

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) is an official agency that coordinates Official Development Assistance for Japan government. JICA is chartered with assisting economic and social growth in developing countries, and the promotion of international cooperation. On 21^st March 2019 JICA has presented a presentation on Moheshkhali - Matarbari integrated infrastructure development proposal at Prime Minister’s office. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that she has taken initiative to develop the Matarbari - Moheshkhali integrated area in Singapore model.

The industries and factories will be built around the proposed power and energy hub in Matarbari. She is eager to build a modern world-class Deep Seaport at Matarbari. JICA said in its presentation that the deep seaport they are offering to build in Matarbari will be 18.7 meter in draft. By 2024 they will finish the first phase of the proposed deep seaport.

The economic zone in that area will be beside the LNG terminal which will be constructing to meet the energy needs. With the establishment of the Dhaka-Chittagong National Highway N-1 and the Railway track, direct communication between Chittagong and Cox's Bazar will be established with Matarbari.

JICA has proposed to build a long-term power and energy hub around Matarbari deep seaport region at the end of 2041, According to their plan:

• Investment of about 20 billion US dollars will be required for the integrated development projects of Maheshkhali - Matarbari. JICA offered nearly half of the amount which is $ 10, 240 million in credit support. In local currencies the amount is about 86 thousand Crore BDT.

• The master plan of Maheshkhali - Matarbari will be implemented in three phases.

• The first phase will be built by the year 2024 with a 1200 MW coal based Ultra Super Critical Coal Power plant, a Coal Jetty and Harbor.

• In the second phase by 2031, the port will be expanded and will build for the purpose of deep seaport and the LNG Terminal will build.

• In the third phase, special economic zones will be built by 2041, basic energy related industries, and planned infrastructure for planned urbanization will be built also in these area.

• Power plant of total 21,700 MW electricity will be available from the power hub.

• The LNG terminal with capacity of 3,500 MMCFD will be developed.

• Extending the port-based economic zones, the heavy and petrochemical industries will be set up.

• At the end of the 3rd phase of 2041, Matarbari deep seaport will be able to handle about 4.8 million TEUS container, which will be almost double of container handling capability in the Chittagong seaport.

In a meeting on the progress of coordinated development activities of Maheshkhali-Matarbari held on Thursday, 21^st March 2019, JICA highlighted this information to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

In existing Chittagong seaport 9 Meter draft ships can berth and in Mongla port 7 Meter drafts ships can berth. The proposed Payra sea port will be able to handle ships with 14 meter drafts. The Matarbari deep sea port will be 18.7 meter draft. There are only two deep seaports with this 18 meter drafts facility in the world, one of them in Sri Lanka and the other in Dubai. With this 18 meter drafting facility container ship that contain around one lac container will be able to berth in Matarbari Deep Seaport.

The project to build 1200 MW coal based power plant at Matarbari area funded by Japan, is based on the foundation for deep seaport construction. According to the demand of this coal-based power plant, there will be construction of jetties and harbors for large quantities of coal handling. The liquid natural gas (LNG) terminal will be developed in this area. Special economic zones will be set up for industries to attract domestic and foreign investment. Besides, tourist spots will be developed for tourists.

A planned city with all types of facilities will be developed for the officers, employees and workers. The relevant localities will get from the established infrastructure development where there will be all facilities available with modern education and healthcare services etc. Highway and railway links will be established which will be connected to Dhaka directly from Cox's Bazar to Chittagong. And in this master plan the goal is to building Maheshkhali - Matarbari integrated area as the focal point of the industrial growth belt (Big B Initiative) that is surrounded by the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh, India, Myanmar and China.

Thanks,
