What's the use of just having tracks and stations

For over 150 years, the railway has been providing transportation services to the people of this region. The Eastern Bengal Railway from the British era is now Bangladesh Railway. This organization is currently a state-owned and state-operated transportation agency. However, since independence, there have been few positive reports about Bangladesh Railway. Most of the time, the news has been about accidents and plundering. The railway transportation service has been running for decades using the stations, rail lines, engines, and bogies from the British era. Only occasionally, when absolutely necessary, has the railway authority repaired the bogies, engines, and rail lines.

How much more money will the public lose due to lack of foresight

A new city named PurbaChal is being developed by acquiring 6,150 acres of land in Rupganj of Narayanganj and Kaliganj of Gazipur, right next to Dhaka. Plans for PurbaChal include the construction of 26,000 plots, 62,000 apartments, a modern stadium, playgrounds, educational institutions, hospitals, and tall iconic towers. The PurbaChal New Town Project, initiated in 1995, has yet to become fully habitable even after almost 30 years. However, the Jalshiri housing project taken in 2010 in Rupganj next to Purbachal has already become busy. Primarily constructed for military personnel housing, this project has already gained recognition as one of Dhaka's most planned and livable residential areas. Side by side, the juxtaposition of these two residential projects forms a small picture in the overall landscape of Bangladesh.
