We visited Meghai Ghat
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Friends, you all know, my home is in Kazipur upazila of Sirajganj district of Bangladesh. We have some places of interest in Kazipur, one of which is Meghai Ghat. This time I went home and visited Meghai Ghat with my family.
Today I will share some pictures and information with you.
Meghai Ghat in Kazipur is the 32nd river port of Bangladesh. A large part of Kazipur lives on the other side of the river Jamuna. We call that side of the river Char area. Due to the river being a port, communication between the people of the two banks has improved.
Every day from morning till night people on both sides come and go through this river port. There are various boats, launches and steamers for the river bank.
By establishing this river port, the long cherished dream of the people of Kazipur of Sirajganj has come true. The port has been officially established at Kazipur. The name of the river port on both sides of the Jamuna is 'Meghai Ghat-Natuarpara river port'.
The gazette regarding the establishment of the river port was published on January 7, 2019. By the order of the President, Deputy Secretary Anwarul Islam appointed BIWTA as its custodian under the powers conferred by Act No. 07-Ain / 2019. Then on 13 January the TA branch of the Ministry of Shipping set the boundaries for the river port.
The boundary mentioned in the Gazette is (a) the northern boundary - the latitude crossing the river Jamuna across the river bank adjacent to Dhekuria Hat in Dhekuria mouza of Kazipur upazila of Sirajganj district. (B) The latitude crossing the river Jamuna horizontally up to Khudbandi river ghat in the southern boundary-Kazipur mouza. (C) Up to 50 yards from the highest water level of the port area during general flooding on the east bank of the river under the above boundary of the land.
Every day thousands of visitors come from far and wide to visit this river port of Meghai Ghat in Kazipur. Many people call this place Mini Cox's Bazar. Whoever comes here will feel better.
Here you can actually take a boat ride to the middle of the river, again you can see the beautiful view of the char by boat.
👉How to come,
You can come here from two directions, you can come to Sirajganj from any part of the country. Or you can come to Bogra Sherpur from anywhere in the country, from there take a CNG or bus to Meghai Bazaar and walk for two minutes to Meghai Ghat.
