For those familiar with the project, you will be aware of the importance of the Jamuna River & Tangail.
“Tarique said that the prayer caps made in Tangail, which were already exported to many countries, could generate employment for many more people if the right initiatives were taken.
He also outlined broader development plans, including a barrage on the Jamuna River, establishing textile factories, pineapple processing units, and boosting the jute industry, aiming to transform Tangail into a planned industrial city.”

Why are these locations important?
GCM’s logistical plan relies on the Jamuna River's navigability to move high-quality domestic coal to industrial hubs, potentially reducing the nation's reliance on expensive imported energy.
Tangail is located south-southeast of Phulbari(Dinajpur). In the context of GCM Resources and the Jamuna River, Tangail is a key transit point because it sits on the eastern side of the Jamuna Multi-purpose Bridge, which any coal transport from Phulbari to Dhaka must cross.
