2.3 Bangladesh Road Network 2.3 Bangladesh Road Network Page 1 Page 2 Overview Roads and Highways Department (RHD) Road Network at a Glance Important Highway Conditions Development Projects Road Distance Matrix Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA) Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) Dhaka Transport Co-ordination Authority (DTCA) Road Security Bridges of Bangladesh International Corridors Leading to Bangladesh Asian Highway Overview The main road network of the country is under the Roads and Highways Department (RHD). Maintenance of the roads including bridges is carried out by RHD. There is approximately 21,483 km of roads under this department. The road network capable to carry vehicles has increased significantly and is increasing every year. Bangladesh government realises the importance of road maintenance and the RHD has given more emphasis on this subject. Only a few years back there was no proper planning and system for road maintenance and international agencies assisted the Government of Bangladesh to address and solve the problem. The Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges is the body for formulation and administration of the rules, regulations and laws relating to road transport, national highways and bridges. Bangladesh has 4 ministries responsible for transportation within the country. They are: Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges- responsible for road safety. Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism- responsible for civil aviation. Ministry of Shipping- responsible for maritime transport. Ministry of Railways- responsible for rail transport. The Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges has 2 Divisions : the Road Transport and Highways Division and the Bridge Division. RHD has again 4 components Roads and Highways Department Bangladesh Road Transport Authority Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation Dhaka Transport Coordination Authority Roads and Highways Department (RHD) The Roads and Highways Department (RHD) within the Ministry of Road Transport and Bridges, is responsible for the management of approximately 21,483 km comprising 3 categories of road classes (National, Regional and Zilla road).

FORMULATION OF THE URBAN TRANSPORT MASTER PLAN Development of the RSTP Urban Transportation Master Plan (1) Methodology The development of the RSTP Urban Transportation Master Plan adopted the following methodology (see Figure 12.1): (i) Elaborate the master plan network through a screen line analysis by comparing the network capacity and future demand. (ii) Identify necessary projects to meet future demand at the same time avoiding excessive capacity. (iii) Conducts economic evaluation of each project to give priority on projects with higher economic return. (iv) Conduct preliminary environmental assessment of every project and consider countermeasures against environmental problems, if any. (v) Make a final prioritization of all physical projects by examining their respective characteristics from different perspectives. (vi) Classify the projects into three categories, namely short-, medium- and long-term projects, by considering the financial constraints. (vii) Prepare an action plan for short-term projects together with “soft” measures.

  • Effect of Nitrogen and Boron on the Yield of Wheat Cv. Kanchan
    J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 3(2): 215-220, 2005 ISSN 1810-3030 Effect of nitrogen and boron on the yield of wheat cv. Kanchan M.M. Khan', A.K. Hasan2, M.H. Rashid2, and F. Ahrned3 Palli Karma Sahayak Foundation (PKSF), Sher-e-Banglanagar, Dhaka, 2Department of Agronomy and 3 Department of Agroforestry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh Abstract An experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from January to April 2004 to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen and boron on the yield of wheat cv. Kanchan. The treatments included four levels of nitrogen VIZ., 45, 60, 85 and 110 kg N ha-1 and four levels of boron viz., 0, 1, 2 and 3 kg B ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The results revealed that Yield and yield contributing characters were influenced significantly by both levels of nitrogen and boron. Among the levels of nitrogen, 110 kg N ha-1 produced the highest grain (5.54 t ha-1)and straw (8.21 t ha-1 ) yields. The lowest grain (3.23 t ha-1) and straw (5.52 t ha-1) yields were observed with the application of 45 kg N ha-1. The highest grain (4.95 t ha-1)and straw (7.38 t ha 1) yields were produced With 3 kg B ha-1. The minimum grain (3.59 t ha-1)and straw (6.14 t ha-1)yields were found in the control treatment.

  • Connecting Bangladesh: Economic Corridor Network
    Connecting Bangladesh: Economic Corridor Network Economic corridors are anchored on transport corridors, and international experience suggests that the higher the level of connectivity within and across countries, the higher the level of economic growth. In this paper, a new set of corridors is being proposed for Bangladesh—a nine-corridor comprehensive integrated multimodal economic corridor network resembling the London Tube map. This paper presents the initial results of the research undertaken as an early step of that development effort. It recommends an integrated approach to developing economic corridors in Bangladesh that would provide a strong economic foundation for the construction of world-class infrastructure that, in turn, could support the growth of local enterprises and attract foreign investment. About the Asian Development Bank COnnecTING BANGLADESH: ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to a large share of the world’s poor. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. ECONOMIC CORRIDOR Based in Manila, ADB is owned by 67 members, including 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, NETWORK and technical assistance. Mohuiddin Alamgir

Synthesis, physical and spectroscopic data for all new compounds General considerations: All reactions were performed under an atmosphere of argon by using standard Schlenk or dry box techniques; solvents were dried over Na metal, K metal or CaH2. Reagents were of analytical grade, obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. 1H, 13C, 11B, and 27Al{1H} NMR spectra were obtained with a Bruker AV 300, Bruker AV 400 or Bruker AVIII 400MHz BBFO1, spectrometers at 298 K unless otherwise stated. NMR multiplicities are abbreviated as follows: s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, sept = septet, m = multiplet, br = broad signal. Coupling constants J are given in Hz. Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectra were obtained at the Mass Spectrometry Laboratory at the Division of Chemistry and Biological Chemistry, Nanyang Technological University. Melting points were measured with OptiMelt Stanford Research System. IR spectrum was measured using Shimadzu IR Prestige-21 FITR spectrometer. N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)pivalimidoyl chloride [(DippN=C(tBu)Cl)] was synthesized according to literature report.[1] Synthesis of compound 1: 1 was generated in situ using a modified literature procedure.[2] Phenyl hydrazine (0.99 t mL, 10.0 mmol) and NEt3 (2.09 mL, 15.0 mmol) were added dropwise to a THF solution of [(DippN=C( Bu)Cl)] (2.80 g, 10.0 mmol).

  • Standing Orders Disaster
    Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh Standing Orders on Disaster Ministry of Food and Disaster Management Disaster Management & Relief Division Disaster Management Bureau April 2010 Message I welcome the initiative of the Disaster Management Bureau (DMB) to publish the revised Standing Orders on Disaster (SOD) aiming at ensuring every possible preparedness measure and reducing disaster risks. The SOD was first introduced in 1997 during our previous tenure in office. We are happy that the revised version of the SOD is being published now in accordance with the changed circumstances. The revised SOD has reflected the vision of the government and clearly outlines the role and responsibilities of the ministries, divisions, agencies, organizations, committees, public representatives and citizens to cope with any natural disaster. I hope that the DMB and Disaster Management and Relief Division in cooperation with other stakeholders will materialize the government commitments for disaster risk reduction and emergency response issues in line with SOD. The SOD, I believe, will play an important role in disaster management and disaster risk reduction in the country. Joi Bangla, Joi Bangabandhu May Bangladesh Live Forever Sheikh Hasina ii FOREWORD Bangladesh is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. The country has had a long experience of severe cyclonic events, floods, landslides, arsenic poisoning, tornadoes, and is under threat from earthquakes. The country is also highly vulnerable to climate change, which is also threat for livelihoods and food security. Government of Bangladesh has had the Standing Orders on Disaster (SOD) in effect since 1997. Considering the adverse impact of climate change and the recommendation of the World Conference on Disaster Reduction 2005, the updating of the SOD was essential.
