The Khulna-Mongla rail track will be laid ‘dividing the Government Buffalo Reproduction and Development Farm’ in Fakirhat upazila.A committee, formed to resolve the complication over the construction of the alignment of the 64.75 km Khulna-Mongla rail track through the buffalo farm, gave the recommendation at a meeting at Bagerhat Circuit House on Saturday with its president Dr Mashiur Rahman in the chair.
Dr Mashiur Rahman, also the Economic Affairs Adviser of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, said that the committee suggested shifting the sheds of the farm to 150 yard north-westward from the existing location.
Alongside, an alternative communication way will be built inside the farm and additional spaces will be arranged for the accommodation of the employees in the area, Rahman added.
As both the farm and the rail line are very important, the committee worked with the local MPs, government officials and local leaders to bring out a quick and suitable solution, he said.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) of the district Tapan Kumar Biswas said some 20 acres of lands will be acquired to build sheds for making new accommodation of the buffalos.
In 1984-85, the government established the buffalo farm on 80 acres of land beside Khulna-Mongla highway in the upazila aiming to reproduce hybrid species of buffalos through natural breeding.
The Government Buffalo Reproduction and Development Farm has some 530 buffalos at present.
