2cr Passengers to Use Shahjalal International Airport
The 3rd terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport will be fully operational only after 2 percent of the work is completed. It is expected to launch early next year. Through this, the number of passengers will be doubled. That is, about 2 million passengers can use this airport annually.
This information was obtained from a source of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.
According to airport sources, the number of passengers in Shahjalal like other airports in the world decreases during the Corona period. But the picture started to change after the epidemic came under control. The number of passengers continues to increase.
In 2020, the number of passengers was a little more than 3 million, in 2021 it was 38, in 2022 it was a little more than 7 million and in 2023 it increased to 9 million. As a result, the number of passengers traveling since the beginning of this year will exceed one million by the end of the year. And when the third terminal of the airport opens early next year, the number of passengers will increase twice.
At present, 160 to 170 aircraft carry passengers daily on domestic and international routes. Around 300 to 350 cargo aircraft are using Shahjalal Airport.
In this regard, Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport Executive Director Group Captain Kamrul Islam told the media that a record number of passengers are using this country's largest airport. Our range of services is also expanding. The third terminal is in the process of handover. Shahjalal International Airport will become the largest airport in the world if it is launched.
He said that at present around one million passengers are using this airport every year. That means people's trust towards the airport is increasing day by day. We are paying special attention to those expatriates who are outside the country, whom we call 'remittance warriors'. Care is being taken to ensure that they are not harassed in any way.
Kamrul Islam also said that the whole image of Shahjalal Airport will change in the next two years. This airport will become the hub of aviation. As now there are crores of passengers, in the future more than two crore passengers of different airlines will walk around this airport.
Aviation analysts say that Shahjalal Airport will become a hub once the third terminal opens. In that case, as the number of passengers will increase, so will the revenue of the government.
They also say that the inconvenience that passengers sometimes have to face now, will no longer exist once the third terminal is opened. This will increase the confidence of passengers.
Incidentally, Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) Chairman Manzur Kabir Bhuiyan visited the third terminal of the airport on August 24. He then told reporters that the construction of the third terminal has been completed 98 percent. This terminal has special importance as a gateway for economic growth and global communication in the country. Therefore, the remaining works need to be completed on time.
Dengue Fever Takes a Deadly Turn: 25 Deaths in Just 7 Days
Dengue is taking a terrible form throughout the country. The number of affected patients is increasing every day. Along with that, the death list is also getting longer. If effective measures are not taken to prevent the spread of Aedes mosquitoes, experts believe dengue will take a more serious form in the coming months.
Dengue patients are being admitted to Dhaka's different hospitals every day with high fever and body pain. Due to this, patient pressure is increasing in the country's various hospitals, including Dhaka. So far this year, 28,565 people have been admitted to hospital due to dengue. Among them, 150 have died. Out of this, 25 have died in the last seven days (September 22-28).
Doctors said, this time some new symptoms are appearing. Many people's platelets drop quickly. The situation has become complicated due to not coming to the hospital in time. Prevention is more important than cure.
Patients complain that mosquito repellents are not being given properly in many areas of the capital. Soon after spraying, the mosquito infestation started.
Director of Mohakhali DNCC Dengue Specialized Hospital said that dengue patients are increasing day by day from 10th of this month. Everyone has to be more responsible in dealing with the situation.
DNCC Chief Executive Officer Mir Khairul Alam said that they are working according to the plans that were made earlier regarding dengue. He admitted that there is a little problem due to the lack of councilors.
Experts say that if the situation is not controlled soon, the outbreak of dengue will take a more serious form in October. Especially Dhaka and several districts outside Dhaka are at high risk. Especially in Cox's Bazar, the overcrowding and unhealthy environment caused by the Rohingya camp is drawing red eyes towards Cox's Bazar and Chattogram.
Atiqur Rahman, a specialized doctor at DMCH said that in addition to the use of anti-mosquito drugs for the prevention of dengue, the City Corporation should conduct campaigns everywhere. At the same time, everyone should be aware.
Entomologist Dr. Manjur Chowdhury said that appropriate measures should be taken with proper manpower by carrying out the survey properly.
It should be noted that 3,21,179 patients were affected by dengue and 1,705 people died in the history of the country in 2023.
