The Project is situated in Chattogram and Cox‟s Bazar Districts under Chattogram Division of Bangladesh. Target of this Project is to construct 103.477Km of new Single Line Dual Gauge Railway Track from Dohazari to Cox‟s Bazar via Ramu. As expected that this new Greenfield alignment would connect Cox‟s Bazar, a tourist region with developing industries, with the capital Dhaka as well as other important cities including Chattogram. Besides, it will establish connectivity to the proposed expected Trans - Asian Railway Corridor. The Government of the People‟s Republic of Bangladesh with the financial assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has launched SASEC: Chittagong - Cox‟s Bazar Railway Project, Phase-1. It was estimated at initial stage that a total of 562.83 hectors (1,390.19 acres) of lands would be required for implementation of the Project. A total of 1,367.3664 acres of lands had been acquired under the 10 (ten) land acquisition (LA) cases following the Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance (ARIPO) (Ordinance II of 1982) and its subsequent amendments in 1993 and 1994. One new land acquisition proposal (LAP) for acquisition of 0.6250 acre of land following the Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Act 2017 (September 21, 2017) was submitted to DC Office, Chattogram on 7th March 2019. The Project Authority noticed that there was a requirement for acquisition of some additional land (2.0544 acres) under Satkania Upazila of Chattogram District. As a result, another LAP was submitted to DC Office, Chattogram on 4th December 2019 for acquisition of 2.0544 acres of additional land. The above-mentioned land acquisition has caused resettlement impacts, which include (a) permanent loss of residential, social and commercial structures, (b) loss of income and livelihoods, (c) displacement of people and (d) loss of lands and other properties. All these identified impacts entailed appropriate mitigation measures to resettle and rehabilitate the affected persons. In this connection a Resettlement Plan (RP) was prepared in accordance with ADB‟s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009) and the Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance – ARIPO, 1982 (Ordinance II of 1982) and its subsequent amendments in 1993 and 1994 of the Government of Bangladesh (GOB), detailed engineering design, census survey and inventory of losses (IOL) and assets. The original RP was approved by the Ministry of Railways on 17th August 2016 as per concurrence of ADB. In accordance with ADB Safeguard requirements, the GOB agreed to implement the RP of the Project ensuring the followings: 1. Avoiding involuntary resettlement wherever possible; 2. Minimizing involuntary resettlement by exploring project and design alternatives; 3. To enhance or at least restore the livelihoods of displaced persons in real term compared to pre-project/pre-displacement levels; and 4. Improving the standards of living of the vulnerable and severely affected groups. Bangladesh Railway (BR) engaged NGOs (DORP – PATHMARK Joint Venture) as Implementing NGO (INGO) for assisting BR to implement the RP under the Project. The scope of INGO‟s work is presented in detailed under subsection E.2. This Social Monitoring Report (SMR) covers progress of land acquisition and implementation of the RP as of December 2019 with more focus on progress of the same achieved between July 2019 and December 2019. CSC, PMC and INGO have been working as per ToR to address any problems and issues of the Affected Persons (APs) related to land acquisition and resettlement. A total of 16,271 leaflets and 8,184 resettlement information booklets (Punorbason Pustika) on land acquisition and resettlement matters were distributed to the affected people in the Project area up to December 2019.

C., 2Khan, S. S. A. and 1Rahman, S. 1Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR) Laboratories Chittagong, Chittagong- 4220, Bangladesh 2Asian University for Women, Chittagong-4100, Bangladesh Article history Abstract Received: 8 January 2014 Magnesium is an essential mineral for its crucial role in many physiological function and Received in revised form: metabolism. While magnesium should be present in nutritionally important quantities in regular 30 January 2014 Accepted: 31 January 2014 diets, average Bangladeshi diets frequently fail to contain an adequate supply of the element. Thus, the study aims to determine the amount of magnesium in four different dietary items, Keywords bananas, vegetables and pulses, locally available in Chittagong, Bangladesh, using Spectro- photometric method. As per the findings, the magnesium concentration for banana contrasts Magnesium Arum between 0.843 µg/g and 3.654µg/g. Musa cavendishii from Satkania Upazila contains the Banana highest value while, the lowest amount is found in Musa paradisiaca from Lama Upazila. For Vegetable and Pulse arums, the amount varies between 0.476 and 21.3456µg/g. The highest amount was found in arums, Colocasia esculenta (Patiya upazila) i.e. 21.3456µg/g and the lowest amount appears from the same species at Boailkhali upazila. In vegetables, the quantity fluctuates between 1.62 and 5.93 µg/g with the maximum amount found in Anowara upazila. Magnesium in pulses was observed in the range 6.5333-28.3208 µg/g.

HOSSAIN1 AND M. A. MATIN3 1Scientific Officer, 2Chief Scientific Officer, Regrional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong, 3Senior Scientific Officer, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur, Bangladesh Accepted for publication: October 08, 2007 ABSTRACT Mohiuddin, M., Uddin, M. S., Rashid, M. H., Hossain, K. M. F. and Matin, M. A. 2007. Adoption and Profitability of Improved Tomato Variety in the Chittagong Region of Bangladesh. J .Soil .Nature .1(3): 52-58 The study was conducted in Patiya and Satkania upazila of Chittagong district during 2005-2006 to assess the adoption status, agronomic practices and profitability of improved tomato variety among the farmers. Data were analyzed through tabular methods and Cobb- Douglas production model. The adoption status of improved tomato variety was found very low. Considering all the improved varieties that are cultivated in the study area Surokka (Indian variety) are ranked first followed by Ratan (BARI variety) and Ruma VF (Indian variety). Farmers’ consciousness about improved tomato cultivation was found increasing. Gross margin was Tk 101566/ha and Tk 140015/ha on the basis of variable cost and cash cost respectively. Per hectare net return from tomato cultivation was Tk 100338 on the basis of full cost. On the basis of variable cost, returns to labour and returns to irrigation were Tk 483 and Tk 13.33 respectively. Major reasons in favour of improved tomato cultivation were higher yields, thick fruit skin, large size, long durability and high price due to attractive colour and size.

The percentage of RC cattle was about 70% and concentration was higher in Anowara than that of Chandanaish upazila. Farmers of the study area supplied on an average 4.93, 8.35, 2.25, 1.54 (kg/d) of rice straw, green grass, rice polish and wheat bran respectively. About 45.24%, 21.43%, 30.95% and 2.38% farmers supplied whole and dry straw, chopped and dry straw, chopped straw soaked with water and straw with green grass respectively. About 55%, 14.3% and 13% of the farmers followed stall feeding (cut and carry system), grazing and stall feeding with grazing respectively for feeding green grasses. The average daily grazing period of cattle was 7.25 hours with highest and lowest 9 and 5 hours respectively daily. About 26.19% of the respondents made cattle house using tin and chatai. 81% of the cattle house had sufficient ventilation and light. The major disease outbreak in the area was FMD, which was 45% of the total disease incidence.
