  • 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.

  • Port and Crime
    PORT AND CRIME Paula Banerjee (Draft Only) Section I: Routine or Rarest of the Rare? Case 1 RPS Kahlon, the Chairman of Kolkata Port Trust, was arrested after he allegedly accepted a bribe of Rs. 20 lakh in a five-star hotel in Kolkata on 9 March 2016. The police further alleged that this was not the first time that Kahlon “had come under the scanner over the past few months.” 1 The bribe was given by a Jagtap Deoji who was into container business. Initially the duo was remanded in police custody until 17 March 2016 after which they were removed to jail custody. Predictably Kahlon’s lawyers were crying foul play. On trying to dig into this case we found two distinctly different version of who the real Kahlon was. One group of people describe him as a polite but strict officer. As the chairman of the Kolkata Port Trust, it was said that he took a number of “fearless steps,” of which one was to foreclose and remove the studio of a well-known film producer Srikant Mohta from the Brace Bridge area. The Calcutta High Court subsequently upheld the decision taken by the Kolkata Port Trust. Since Srikant Mohta was close to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, a group of people were of the opinion that Kahlon was a victim of foul play. 2 They alleged that this arrest was politically motivated. Kahlon, they said, was a nice man who had been victimised because of his opposition to Mohta. That is the reason why the state police did not involve the CBI before taking action against Kahlon.
