The first physical plan of the city was prepared by the UDD in 1968. But due to some constraints, the Plan was not implemented, After the independence of Bangladesh, the Government formed Rajshahi Town Development Authority in 1976 for the physical planning and development of Rajshahi City and its adjoining areas, The Rajshahi Development Authority prepared Master Plan in 1984. This was basically a land use type Master Plan which included the future groy.th direction of the city as well as its major road network, housing areas, commercial & industrial sites, recreational spots etc, The Master Plan also identified a nl.lmberof projects in different sectors. Over the last 20 years the city ofRajshahi has been developed after this Master plan. During this period, a number of proposals of the Master Plan have been implemented while some of the proposals were not The trend of imbalanced urbanisation in Bangladesh is one of the major reasons bchind the non-implemenration of Master Plans. However, in the case ofRajshahi, the geographic location of the city is a barrier lOits economic development Moreover, the weaknesses in preparation of plan, lack of proper planning practice, lack of time to time review, political influence, lethargy in project implementation. etc. are some the reasons behind improper implemenrarion of the t984 Master plan of Rajshahi.

  • Tormenting 71 File-03
    The Pakistanis used to enjoy everyday after unleashing torture on us Capt (Retd) Syed Suzauddin Ahmed Syed Suzauddin Ahmed, a former director general of the Mass Communication Department, was a commissioned Bengalee officer in Pakistan Army during Liberation War. He was arrested on April 8, 1971 from Satkhira area. Then he had to suffer inhuman torture by the Pakistanis in the name of interrogation. His testimony was recorded on September 25, 1999. I was at Jessore on March 25, 1971. Being a resident of Bihari Colony, I saw the Biharis get panicky amidst the tension prevailing in the town. We assured the Biharis that Bengalees would not attack them. I went to the Awami League office to know the latest situation. At that time I was on two month’s leave. I did not return to Pakistan to join although my leave was finished. It was a major offense as per the rule of the armed services, but I wanted to see the result of the negotiation that was going on between Yahiya Khan and Bangabandhu. I thought that everything would be normal within a day or two and I would be able to return to Pakistan. I would have gone to Pakistan if the crack down had ocurred 6 or 7 days later. On the midnight of March 25, I came to know about heavy firing in Dhaka. I tried to make a phone call to one of my distant cousins who lived in Dhaka, but did not get him. That night I could not sleep due to the tension.

  • Tor) for Water Quality Test (WQT) and Monitoring of Prevailing Safe Water Dispensing Systems (SWDS) at Several Railway Stations
    Terms of Reference (ToR) For Water Quality Test (WQT) and monitoring of prevailing Safe Water Dispensing Systems (SWDS) at several Railway Stations Introduction WaterAid Bangladesh (WAB) is a leading international non-government organisation in Bangladesh, working in the country since 1986 to improve access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) for poor and marginalised communities. WaterAid works in partnership with NGOs, civil society groups, government institutions, academic and research institutes, and other development agencies. Apart from implementing projects in rural and urban areas with its partner NGOs, WaterAid believes in maximising the impact of its work through influencing other stakeholders and policy decision makers. Context and Background Railway is one of the principal modes of mass transportation in Bangladesh. Every day innumerable numbers of people of different social and economic standings travel by trains through different stations. These people in particular along with people associated with different activities in and around the stations need to have safe drinking water during their stay at the stations and during the travel. Availability of safe drinking water, on the contrary to its dire need, is not easily available in all places including the railway stations. In alleviating this crisis Bangladesh Railway (BR) recently included in its Citizen’s Charter to take steps to install hygienically safe drinking water supply facilities in important stations in cooperation with agencies pursuing corporate social responsibility initiatives to communities. In this context and background, WaterAid an international NGO dedicated to provide succour to people’s access to safe water and improve hygiene and sanitation with its technical support expertise in the field came forward in collaboration with Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative of Robi Axiata Ltd.
