Kalurghat, A historical place of Bangladesh.
Kalurghat is a well-known historical place of Bangladesh. Kalurghat is located several miles north of the port city of Chittagong, Bangladesh. It is a very ancient locality before the British rule. It is mostly famous for several heavy industries. At the time of liberation war it was a no.1 sector of Bangladesh. During the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, from the Kalurghat radio transmitter Major Ziaur Rahman declared the independence of Bangladesh on behalf of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The Kalurghat Bridge on the Karnaphuli River connects Chittagong city with the southern parts of the district. It was the only link between the southern regions of Chittagong division. This 239m long bridge was established as a simple rail bridge of steel structure between Janalihut and Gomdandi railway stations in 1930. The bridge was commissioned for operation of trains in Chittagong-Dohazari section in the year 1931. Thirty-one years after its inauguration, considering the suffering of the people it was modified with decking and carpeting and turned into a rail and road-bridge in 1962. Although it is famous place of Bangladesh but not much reaches in road & transportation sectors. Due to industrial area most of time heavy vehicles are passes trough the road and cause a traffic jam & destroy the road carpeting. At this moment government should take steps to make a river side road from Chittagong port to Kalurghat Bridge as a port connecting road. It will consume time and increase the opportunity of new business & reduces traffic jam. [Engr. Md. Riazul Islam]
