The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has given policy approval to relocate Dhaka’s Sayedabad inter-district bus terminal to Kanchpur in an effort to reduce traffic congestion in the capital. The decision was made at a meeting chaired by Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury at the Secretariat. The move follows a directive from Prime Minister Tareq Rahman to modernize traffic management in Dhaka.
According to the Local Government Division, Dhaka South City Corporation has been instructed to complete necessary infrastructure and operational preparations within four months to make the proposed Kanchpur terminal functional. The project will be implemented by state-owned Chittagong Dry Dock Limited under the Bangladesh Navy through direct purchase due to state emergency needs.
The estimated cost of the project is Tk 6.88 crore. It includes construction of a 4,012-square-meter platform, installation of tiles, a shed using 15,573 kilograms of profile sheets, 120 ticket counters, 32 toilets, and office rooms. Officials expect the new terminal to significantly reduce traffic pressure in eastern Dhaka and improve overall traffic management.
