There will be wide range of vehicles such as two and three axle/ multi axle trucks, bus, car, two-wheeler etc. These type of transportation system are major contributors to air pollution as these emit harmful pollutants which has adverse impact on environment. It is difficult to project air pollution as because pollutant enters the air by different amounts at different times and also varies with places. It is expected that air pollutants which might be discharged by the operations of tenant in the industrial and logistic area would be well controlled and managed by the tenants. For indicative assessment of air quality of the project area, projection has been done for some pollutants due to vehicle emission only. Forecast Area The areas examined to forecast is the project area (Zone 2A and 2B of BSMSN) shown in the Figure 1- 1. The project area is about 1450 acres. At present, it is observed that the concentration of some pollutants such as SO2, NOX, CO, PM2.5, PM10 and SPM are below the allowable limit as per DoE standard (Bangladesh). All the surveyed data are given in the baseline data collection section of main report.

  • Importance of Making More Water Dams and Construction of Concretes River Embankment in Bangladesh to Protect Flood

I (November 2020), PP 43-53 www.iosrjournals.org Importance of Making More Water Dams and Construction of Concretes River Embankment in Bangladesh to Protect Flood Asaduzzaman1*, Tao Wang2 1Master’s Student and Graduate Research Assistant, State Key Laboratory of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering Science, Wuhan University, 430072, China 2Associate Professor, School of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering, Wuhan University, 430072, China *Corresponding author. Mobile: +880-1836928714, +86-16-27013327. E-mail address: Asaduzzaman ([email protected]) Abstract Water is Bangladesh’s blessing and a curse. For nearly half the year, the monsoon rains cause the country’s four major rivers, the Jamuna, Padma, Brahmaputra and Meghna, and their tributaries to swell. Devastating floods are often the consequence. During the rest of the year, the dry season brings almost no rainfall, and droughts threaten the livelihoods of people and the health of the natural environment. Frequent and widespread flooding is a major problem in Bangladesh, which is a Rangpur, Bogra, Shirajganj, Rajbari Region. The problem is caused mainly by the Jamuna River and sudden coming floodwater from India through Brahmaputra whose erratic riverbank erosion has been leading to the general widening of channels and large-scale instability of riverbanks. Both the flooding and erosion in the river valley can be tackled only through an adaptive response that includes the use of structural protection systems such as making water dams and strong river embankment. A practicability study in this paper was led for riverbank protection works and an increasing number of dams are also discussed.

  • Sensitive Space Along the India-Bangladesh Border
    THE FRAGMENTS AND THEIR NATION(S): SENSITIVE SPACE ALONG THE INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jason Cons January 2011 © 2011 Jason Cons THE FRAGMENTS AND THEIR NATION(S): SENSITIVE SPACE ALONG THE INDIA-BANGLADESH BORDER Jason Cons, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 Borders are often described as “sensitive” areas—exceptional and dangerous spaces at once central to national imaginaries and at the limits of state control. Yet what does sensitivity mean for those who live in, and those who are in charge of regulating, such spaces? Why do these areas persist as spaces of conflict and confusion? This dissertation explores these questions in relation to a series of enclaves—sovereign pieces of India inside of Bangladesh and vice versa—clustered along the Northern India–Bangladesh border. In it, I develop the notion of “sensitivity” as an analytic for understanding spaces like the enclaves, showing how they are zones within which postcolonial fears about sovereignty, security, identity, and national survival become mapped onto territory. I outline the politics of sensitivity and the production of sensitive space through both historical and ethnographic research. First, I explore the ways that ambiguity and vague fears about security and citizenship emerge as forms of moral regulation within and in relation to the enclaves. Specifically, I interrogate the processes through which information about the enclaves is regulated and policed and the ambiguity, suspicion, and insecurity that emerge out of such practices.

  • A Study of the Mughul Architectural Heritage in Chittagong City
    J.P.H.S., Vol. LXVIII, No. 1 7 A STUDY OF THE MUGHUL ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE IN CHITTAGONG CITY DR. SALMA BINT SHAFIQ1 Associate Professor Department of History University of Chittagong e-mail: [email protected] The objective of this research is to present a concise but vivid analysis of Mughul Architectural heritage established in the city of Chittagong. Chittagong is now the second most important city of Bangladesh. Apart from natural beauty bent through hills, and mountains, rivers and lakes, the seaport in the heart of the Bay of Bengal attracted people from diverse ethnic origins throughout the centuries. Those people left the marks of their footsteps especially through various structures around the city, which have been incorporated into local heritage. Among those nationals, Mughul relics survived most, though currently they are under threat of oblivion due to massive urbanization and unplanned modernization of the city. Research on architecture highlights this issue in their own perspective while historic aspect in regards to Mughul architecture has not been studied extensively. To this end the study first presents a brief analytical discussion on heritage, and a short historical background about the city of Chittagong, and then focuses on some of the significant monuments established during Mughul reign in the city of Chittagong. The study concludes by stressing on the threat to the architectural monuments due to the lack of proper maintenance. Key words: Architecture, Heritage, Mughul, Chittagong Introduction Heritage is a term which is used to denote cultural properties or resources of a country or a nation. It can be divided into two broad 1I would like to pay my gratitude and thanks to my teacher Professor Dr.
