Emerging Multimodal Connectivity in the BBIN Sub-Region Possibilities for Competitive Linkages and Potential Benefits to Bhutan DISCUSSION PAPER #1/2020 Emerging Multimodal Connectivity in the BBIN Sub-region Possibilities for Competitive Linkages and Potential Benefits to Bhutan Bhimlal Suberi* India and Bangladesh are top two trading partners as well as pivotal transit countries for Bhutan and this will continue in the future. Kolkata-Siliguri-Guwahati road link is a crucial road transport corridor for bilateral trade with India and Bangladesh and facilitates access to the seaports. With Bhutan given access to Chittagong and Mongla seaports, international trade is likely to be less costly as these seaports are closer compared to the Indian seaports. Moreover, with strengthening inter-modal connectivity infrastructure in and between Bangladesh and India, Bhutan has tremendous potential to improve access to BBIN and global markets. In that context, this Discussion Paper reviews Bhutan’s access to such infrastructure while highlighting challenges as well as opportunities for the country to develop competitive linkages with existing and emerging corridors of trade and transport connectivity in the sub-region. Background barriers and prepared a roadmap1 for the development of multimodal connectivity in the The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation region along the prioritised corridors.

    Disaster Management Section DM Office, Alipurduar, West Bengal Fax: 03564-253637 Email ID- [email protected] FOREWORD Alipurduar district is the 20th district of the state of West Bengal and was made a separate district on 25th June 2014. The district is diverse in terrain as well as ethnicity. Places like Buxa Tiger Reserve , Jaldapara National Park , Jayanti Hills , Buxa Fort have always drawn the attention of tourists from different corner to this beautiful place. The district has also many rivers like Torsha, Holong , Mujnai , Rydak , Kaljani , Sankosh to name a few . The presence of many rivers makes the district a possible victim of floods during the monsoons every year .The year 1993 is notable as it was in this year that the district was ravaged by severe floods. Recently, in the last year also the district experienced a severe flash flood due to abnormal rainfall. According to the severity and intensity, last year’s flood is second to ’93 flood. The presence of rivers coming from the foothills of Bhutan also pose a great threat in the form of flash floods. The unpredictability of flash floods makes them a dangerous adversary. “Prevention is better than cure.” This proverb is none better suited than in the area of Disaster Management litigation. In order to manage any disaster it is prudent to be ready beforehand. Co-ordination and co-operation between the different departments of the Government in this regard is an absolute necessity. The Disaster Management Plan has been formulated with the intention of providing immediate and speedy remedial measures in the event of any calamity in the district of Alipurduar.
