Walkway of Turag River-তুরাগ নদীর ওয়াক ওয়ে

তুরাগ নদী

তুরাগ নদী (Turag River)  লৌহজং নদী টাঙ্গাইল জেলায় তুরাগ নাম ধারণ করে। এটি বর্তমানে ব্রহ্মপুত্র-যমুনা নদীপ্রণালীর অন্তর্ভুক্ত। শুকনা মৌসুমে ক্ষীণকায় হয়ে পড়লেও তুরাগ একটি সক্রিয় নদী। যমুনা নদীর পলি অবক্ষেপ প্রায় সুদূর টঙ্গী খাল পর্যন্ত তুরাগের উপত্যকা জুড়ে রয়েছে। ১৯৫০ সালে আসাম ভূমিকম্পের পর থেকে এমনটা ঘটেছে। ঢাকার মিরপুরের কাছে এটি বুড়িগঙ্গা নদীর সঙ্গে মিলিত হয়েছে। নিম্নাংশে নদীটিতে জোয়ারভাটার প্রভাব রয়েছে। সারা বছর এ নদী নৌকা চলাচলের উপযোগী।


Around 52 km long walkway will be constructed on the banks of the four rivers surrounding the capital city Dhaka. This walkway will be built on the banks of Buriganga, Turag, Shitalakkhya and Balu rivers. After completion of the whole project the banks of Buriganga and other rivers will be turned into tourist spots that will attract even the foreigners.


Recently construction work of the boundary pillar to stop recapture of these rivers to build the walkway was inaugurated.

The introduction of the circular waterways around Dhaka will facilitate passenger and freight transport. Buriganga will be seen like Hatirjheel, the whole surrounding area of Dhaka will be changed.


The Buriganga River will be the center of joy and entertainment. If the whole projects implemented then within few years the water of the Buriganga will be pollution free. The river will be used for the livelihood of humans, such an environment will be created. The beauty of the Thames River beside London city will be here in Buriganga River beside Dhaka city.
