Munshiganj:Construction of a modern chemical industrial park in Munshiganj has reached 83 percent completion. The project, valued at Tk 1,454.80 crore, will feature 1,531 industrial plots for allocation.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the park, slated for completion by June 2027, is being developed on 308.33 acres along the Ichamati River in Sirajdikhan upazila. It aims to relocate chemical warehouses and factories from Old Dhaka.
The information was revealed during a meeting at the Ministry of Industries in Motijheel. Minister Khandakar Abdul Muktadir presided over discussions focusing on the relocation process, especially in light of past fire incidents in Old Dhaka. Emphasizing the importance of stakeholder involvement, Muktadir highlighted the need for a smooth transition and an effective Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) system before operations commence.
The meeting was attended by various officials, including Members of Parliament and leaders from chemical trade associations, to ensure coordinated efforts for the project's success.
