Chattogram city’s first-ever centralised sewage project aims to modernise sanitation, prevent water pollution, and benefit thousands of port city dwellers. The project, with its physical work beginning in January 2022, has experienced significant delays and cost overruns. Its initial phase is now slated for completion in June next year.

Construction materials and machinery owned by Dhaka Mass Transit Company Limited are kept at Anowara Park in Farmgate. In September, all of it will be removed, and the site will finally be handed over to Dhaka North City Corporation to begin building a new public park. Initially, there were plans to construct a station plaza on the land; however, following public pushback, the decision was made to restore the area as a park. Photo: Prabir Das
