How sad that there are such sick sad people out there that feel they have to come and deramp in the way you do….. maybe your missing a figure out in your research and putting in 2006 rather than 2026 🤣🤣🤣

I’ve just done a quick scan of the press myself and am unable to find anything to confirm what you are trying to say, so am very happy…

Trust me, if it is from AI it would be all over the press…. How do you think AI gets its info 🙄

Im disappointed you’ve arrived to deramp in the way that you have, but to be honest I’m quite surprised you’ve left it so late and only arrived today 🤷‍♂️

Good luck at trying to get the price you want lol 😉

Just to put this in context, that upgrade is costing in the region of 35 million pounds extra!

By Bangladesh’s standards that’s a huge amount of money to be spent on a a road upgrade…

Looks like this is being slightly delayed but substantially upgraded .. Maybe because they are preparing for what’s coming down the road …. lol

Hili land port highway upgrade delayed again, cost jumps to Tk588cr

The highway under upgrade connects Hili land port—Bangladesh’s second-largest after Benapole—with the regional highway Gobindaganj–Ghoraghat–Birampur–Phulbari–Dinajpur (R-585).

This article is a really good read although it is written about Rooppur Nuclear plant, but if Phulbari gets the green light, it so easily be written about Phulbari and what a difference it will make to the whole region/ country…..

The BNP obviously realise this and is why they are promoting the development in the north in the way they are …..

Phulbari is the key though!!

“Energy security and regional opportunity

While my focus here is regional development, it is impossible to ignore the broader context. Reliable electricity underpins modern economies. By strengthening Bangladesh's energy base, the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant enhances the country's overall development prospects.”

Hi SGBaby, no there is no official news article or RNS to link the two, apart from if course the Phulbari.org website, but to be fair that’s been fairly accurate with everything else it’s said….

You can see why the thoughts are that they are linked though, Teesta has over 200km of embankment needs repairing or built - where they getting all that gear to build those with?

Phulbari / Teesta River = It’s a marriage made in heaven…

Just saying

I know some knock the website, but just thinking about all the positive news we’ve had this weekend, it’s almost like Tarique Rahman wrote it himself lol

For anyone looking in, who wants a quick reference point with up to date research, you could do worse than have a read of Phulbari.org

This is going to lead to such a massive growth for the area….

Tarique vows quick implementation of Teesta Master Plan if BNP forms govt

He also assured the establishment of a medical college in Nilphamari, gradual upgrading of Saidpur Airport into an international airport, and development of the area as an industrial zone to reduce dependence on agriculture. “We want to remove the tag of neglect from Nilphamari-Dinajpur and ensure development of roads, ghats, schools and colleges,” he said.

Tarique vows quick implementation of Teesta Master Plan if BNP forms govt

https://unb.com.bd/category/Politics/tarique-vows-quick-implementation-of-teesta-master-plan-if-bnp-forms-govt/179081

BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman on Saturday said that if BNP forms the government, one of its main priorities will be the swift implementation of the Teesta Master Plan

I know it’s already been posted, but just like reading it, and how fast Tarique wants it implemented 😅

💥 just keeps getting better and better 👌

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what an idiot …. Filter for you 🙄

And that Tarique Rahman at his rally in Rangpur said .................

BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman on Friday sought "yes" vote in the upcoming referendum, scheduled to be held along with the February 12 general election, and also pledged coal-based industries in the north.

He alleged that no meaningful steps have been taken to change people’s lives and said that coal extraction in the Rangpur region could pave the way for significant development in the area.

Have we forgotten that this one of the other reasons we started to rise last week, was because BNP Standing Committee member Iqbal Hossain Mahmud Tuku came out and said BNP will open pit mine!!!

He criticised the banned Awami League government’s energy policy, alleging that excessive reliance on the private sector has increased costs and weakened public control.

Mahmud also expressed support for open-pit coal mining, saying domestic coal resources should be included in the future energy mix to improve energy security and reduce import dependence.

He said the country can no longer continue with business as usual in the energy sector, adding that the ongoing power and fuel crisis requires structural reforms and long-term planning instead of short-term solutions.

Obviously more information will be coming out all day, but Phulbari is going to be pivotal to the expansion of the north 😅

BNP Chairman Tarique Rahman on Saturday said his party wants to take the country forward by transforming Thakurgaon, Nilphamari, Dinajpur and Panchagarh into an industrial hub, stressing that winning the upcoming election is essential to implement the plan.

He made the remarks while addressing an election rally at the Thakurgaon Government Boys’ High School ground at around 11:30am, marking his first visit to the district in 22 years.

BNP unveils power and energy reform plan before polls

BNP’s manifesto promises major power and energy reforms, targeting lower costs, transparency, renewables and domestic resources as Bangladesh heads toward its 13th parliamentary election with focus on sustainability and accountability.

The Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has pledged sweeping reforms in the country’s power and energy sector, alleging that corruption, non-transparent procurement, costly short-term contracts, high capacity charges and excessive import dependency over the past decade and a half have made the sector expensive and inefficient.

In its election manifesto announced on Friday ahead of Bangladesh’s 13th parliamentary election, BNP said it aims to build an affordable, reliable and environmentally sustainable power and energy system through transparency, efficiency and optimal use of domestic resources.

Power sector expansion and modernization

According to the manifesto, BNP plans to increase Bangladesh’s power generation capacity to 35,000 megawatts by 2030 and expand transmission lines to 25,000 circuit kilometers.

BNP also emphasized increasing domestic energy production to reduce dependency on imported fuel.

BNP said its proposed reforms aim to secure long-term energy security, support sustainable industrialization, generate employment opportunities and strengthen Bangladesh’s economic growth trajectory.

Well if this happens, then that’s just helped the case for Phulbari even more and made it even more urgent!!!!
