With the approval of the Prime Minister Office (PMO), the Land Ministry has allotted 4,835.91 acres of ‘khas’ land in favour of Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority (BEZA) for setting up Noakhali Economic Zone (EZ) at Companiganj upazila under Noakhali district.
District Administration of Noakhali has already sent a proposal to BEZA for setting up an economic zone near the Noakhali EZ at Subarnacharupazila under the district.
Talking to BSS, BEZA Executive Chairman Paban Chowdhury said there is immense potential to connect Noakhali and Subarnachar economic zones with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar (BSMSN).
Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, he said this is a significant step towards planned industrialization in the country.
He said BEZA is endeavoring to establish economic zones in potential areas of the country with a view to encouraging rapid economic development through diversification of industries and augmentation of employment, production and export.
Chowdhury informed that the BEZA governing board has already approved the location and amount of land in 97 economic zones, of which 68 are public economic zones and 29 are private economic zones.
