(PSI) Project Name Mymensingh Kewatkhali Bridge Project Country
Project Number: 000163 Project Summary Information (PSI) Project Name Mymensingh Kewatkhali Bridge Project Country People’s Republic of Bangladesh Sector Transport Project No. 0000163 Borrower People’s Republic of Bangladesh Implementation Agency Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges Environmental and Social Category A Date of PSI prepared or updated Sep. 5, 2018 Date of Concept Decision Approved on Sep. 4, 2018 Estimated Date of Board Consideration Aug., 2019 I. Introduction Mymensingh Kewatkhali Bridge is part of the Dhaka-Mymensingh-India border corridor, which is strategically important for both regional and local connectivity. Three land ports have been developed along the Indian border in Mymensingh Division, namely Nakugaon Land port in Sherpur district, Gobrakura Land Port and Haluaghat Land Port in Mymensingh District. Traffic from the three land ports must cross Old Brahmaputra River at Mymensingh City in order to reach Dhaka and other parts of Bangladesh. As with other land ports on the northern border with India, the main import items are coal, lime stone, boulder, stone, glass sand, fruits and raw hides. Export items are food and beverage items, plastic goods and bricks. Given the proximity to the Indian border (around 60-80 km from Mymensingh to the three land ports), the road passing through Mymensingh serves international trade by carrying the major import/export items from/to India. The improved crossing at Mymensingh will help facilitate cross-border trade with northeast India. On the other hand, the Mymensingh Kewatkhali bridge will provide crossing over the Old Brahmaputra River to connect the landlocked north central and northeast Bangladesh with Dhaka. -
Cropping Patterns in Mymensingh Region: Diversity, Constraint and Potential
Bangladesh Rice J. 21 (2) : 217-235, 2017 Cropping Patterns in Mymensingh Region: Diversity, Constraint and Potential A Khatun1*, N Parvin1, M M R Dewan2 and A Saha1 ABSTRACT A consistent and comprehensive database on cropping pattern, cropping intensity and crop diversity of a particular area is the prime importance for guiding policy makers, researchers, extentionists and development agencies for the future research and development planning. The study was carried out all the upazilas of Mymensingh region during 2015-16 using pre-designed and pre-tested semi- structured questionnaire with a view to document the existing cropping pattern, crop diversity and cropping intensity. The most dominant cropping pattern Boro−Fallow−T. Aman occupied about one- half of net cropped area (NCA) of the region distributed to 46 out of 47 upazilas. Single Boro cropping pattern ranked the second position which covered 23% of NCA distributed in 45 upazilas. A total of 129 cropping patterns were identified in the whole area of Mymensingh region under this investigation. The highest number of (30) cropping patterns were identified in Pakundia upazila of Kishoreganj and the lowest was (10) in Sreebardi of Sherpur. The lowest crop diversity index (CDI) was reported (0.111) in Mithamoin of Kishoreganj followed by 0.114 at Khaliajuri in Netrokona. The highest value of CDI was observed 0.933 at Dewanganj in Jamalpur followed by 0.920 at Bhairab in Kishoreganj. The range of cropping intensity values was recorded 101-249%. The maximum value was for Hossainpur and minimum for Itna and Mithamoin in Kishoreganj. At a glance the calculated CDI of Mymensingh region was 0.840 and the average cropping intensity was 187%. -

Bangladesh 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
BANGLADESH 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution designates Islam as the state religion but upholds the principle of secularism. It prohibits religious discrimination and provides for equality for all religions. The government continued to provide guidance to imams throughout the country on the content of their sermons in its stated effort to prevent militancy and monitor mosques for “provocative” messaging. In March police completed the investigation of the case involving the 2016 killing of 22 persons, most of them non-Muslims, at the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka and forwarded it for prosecution. Legal proceedings against the attackers continued through year’s end. On March 30, led by a local political Awami League party leader, approximately 80 armed members of the Muslim community in Jamalpur District attacked members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community at an Ahmadiyya mosque, injuring 22 Ahmadis. Despite government orders to the contrary, village community leaders, often working together with local religious leaders, continued using extrajudicial fatwas to punish individuals, mostly women, for perceived “moral transgressions.” In April the government announced its intent to fund an approximately 76 billion taka ($904.76 million) project to construct madrassahs in every electoral constituency. Various local organizations and media reports said the project was a political tactic by the government to use religion to influence voters during an election year. Members of religious minorities, including Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, who were sometimes also members of ethnic minorities, stated the government remained ineffective in preventing forced evictions and land seizures stemming from land disputes. The government continued to place law enforcement personnel at religious sites, festivals, and events considered possible targets for violence. -
Pteridophytes of Greater Mymensingh District of Bangladesh Used As Vegetables and Medicines
Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 16(1): 47-56, 2009 (June) © 2009 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists PTERIDOPHYTES OF GREATER MYMENSINGH DISTRICT OF BANGLADESH USED AS VEGETABLES AND MEDICINES 1 SUJAN KUMER SARKER AND A.B.M. ENAYET HOSSAIN Department of Botany, Jahangirnagar University, Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Keywords: Vegetables; Medicine; Pteridophytes; Bangladesh. Abstract Sixteen species of pteridophyte, collected from greater Mymensingh district, Bangladesh, were studied for their use as food (vegetables) and traditional herbal medicine. Out of these, four were recorded to have use as vegetables, seven as traditional medicine and five as both vegetables and medicine. Eight species were recorded for the first time in Bangladesh having use as vegetables and/or medicines. The local people and five ethnic communities, namely Coach, Garo, Mandai, Khayatriya and Wera were interviewed in this study. Introduction Pteridophytes are vascular cryptogams and form a neglected group of plants in biodiversity as far as their economic value is concerned. Their food and medicinal values are not well known to many of the people of Bangladesh, although their uses as food and medicine are known from earlier literature. Pammel (1911) compiled a manual of poisonous plants from Eastern North America with brief notes on economic and medicinal plants which included some medicinal pteridophytes. The Ayurvedic systems of medicine referred by Sushruta (ca 100 AD) and Charka (ca 100 AD) recommended the medicinal uses of some ferns in their Samhitas. Ferns are also used by the physicians in Unani system of medicine (Uddin et al., 1998). In Chinese system of medicine, many ferns are also prescribed by local doctors (Kimura and Noro, 1965). -
