Chattogram’s mega road project delayed as land acquisition hits deadlock

Initially approved in July 2017 with a deadline of June 2020, the project has undergone several deadline extensions to overcome land acquisition delays and technical hurdles

Despite its high-tech promise, the Chattogram Development Authority’s seven-storey automated car park in New Market has stood idle since its 2017 inauguration. Built at a cost of Tk4 crore with support from Japan, Germany, and China, the tray-based system—designed to hold 29 vehicles—was meant to alleviate traffic congestion but remains an underutilised asset.
