Bangladesh Railway Museum

Das Bangladesh Railway Museum (bengalisch বাংলাদেশ রেলওয়ে জাদুঘর) ist das einzige Eisenbahnmuseum in Bangladesch. Es befindet sich auf einem Hügel im nordwestlichen Thana Pahartali der Stadt Chittagong. Pahartali wurde als Eisenbahnersiedlung gegründet und gegenüber dem Museum befindet sich der Pahartali Railway Workshop, ein Bahnbetriebswerk. Geschichte Das Museum wurde auf Initiative des Generaldirektors der Bangladesh Railway eingerichtet und am 15. November 2003 eröffnet. Täglich wird es von 150 Personen besucht, in der Hauptsaison auch mehr. In den folgenden Jahren verfiel das Gebäude rasch, und 2012 wurde in der Presse an der Baufälligkeit des Gebäudes und an der Bedrohung der Exponate scharfe Kritik geäußert. 2016 wurde das Museum für zwei Jahre geschlossen, um die dringend notwendige Renovierung durchzuführen. Das Museum befindet sich weiterhin in der Trägerschaft der Bangladesh Railway und ist an Werktagen nachmittags für drei Stunden geöffnet. Grundstück und Gebäude Das etwa 5 Hektar große Grundstück des Museums befindet sich auf einem großzügig bewachsenen Hügel gegenüber dem Pahartali Railway Workshop, einem Bahnbetriebswerk der Bangladesh Railway im nordwestlichen Thana Pahartali der Stadt Chittagong. Das Museumsgebäude stammt aus der Kolonialzeit. Es hat ein gemauertes Untergeschoss, das Obergeschoss besteht aus Holz mit einem Blechdach. Sammlung Da das Bangladesh Railway Museum über nur begrenzten Ausstellungsraum verfügt, auf einem Hügel liegt und keinen Gleisanschluss hat, können keine Lokomotiven und Eisenbahnwaggons gesammelt und ausgestellt werden. So konnte ein historischer luxuriöser Salonwagen der britisch-indischen Kolonialzeit nicht dem Museum übergeben werden, sondern wurde im Bahnbetriebswerk gegenüber dem Museum abgestellt. Dennoch verfügt das Museum über eine Vielzahl von Ausstellungsstücken aus der Geschichte mehrerer Eisenbahngesellschaften: der in Chittagong ansässigen Assam Bengal Railway (1892–1942), der Eastern Bengal Railway (1857–1942) mit Sitz in Kalkutta und der ebenfalls in Chittagong ansässigen Pakistan Eastern Railway (1961–1971). Es handelt sich bei den Exponaten um zahlreiche Lampen und Signale, Weichen- und Stellwerktechnik und historische Uniformen. Weblinks Einzelnachweise

Kartalab Khan Mosque

The Kartalab Khan Mosque, also known as the Begum Bazar Mosque, is a mosque, located in the Begum Bazar area in the Old City of Dhaka, Bangladesh. It was built by Nawab Diwan Murshid Quli Khan (alias Kartalab Khan) between 1700 and 1704 CE. The mosque consists of a high valuated platform, a mosque with a 'dochala' annex on the north upon the western half of the platform and a 'Baoli' (stepped well) to the east of the platform. It is roofed by five domes resting on octagonal drums. The mosque was extensively renovated by Mirza Golam Pir in the nineteenth century. In accordance with Murshid Quli Khan's wishes, he was buried under the entrance to this mosque. History Kartalab Khan Mosque is one of the largest Mughal mosques in Dhaka. It is built on a high platform called a tahkhana. Underneath the platform there is a series of rectangular rooms that are let out to shopkeepers. A fish market was built to meet the expenses of the mosque. The 'Baoli', the only known example of its kind in Bengal, is considered to be of North Indian or Deccan origin, the latter possibility being more likely since its builder had been in the Deccan before coming to Dhaka. In 1777, the control of the market was taken over by Begum daughter of the then Naib-e-Nazim Sharfaraz Khan. The name of the locality 'Begumbazar' and possibly that of the mosque originate from her name. Another possibility is that it was named after a mutawallī (administrator) of the mosque. Architectural value As stated by archaeologist Ahmad Hasan Dani, The mosque proper also shows a departure from the earlier buildings. The older features of the three-domed mosque are here repeated and multiplied so as to make a five-domed mosque. The facade shows five entrances, each separated from the other by slender minaret rising high above the battlemented parapet. Similarly the corner towers have their kiosks shooting above.

Flughafen Khulna

Der Khan Jahan Ali Airport, Khulna (bengalisch খান জাহান আলী বিমানবন্দর, englisch Khan Jahan Ali Airport) ist ein geplanter Flughafen in Bagerhat, Bangladesch. Da es sehr nahe an Khulna liegt, war geplant, hauptsächlich die Stadt Khulna zu bedienen. Es ist ungewiss, ob das Projekt abgeschlossen werden wird, da seit Beginn des Projekts im Jahr 1996 keine Arbeiten durchgeführt wurden, als nach dem Erwerb des Landes und der Auffüllung der Erde die Mittel knapp wurden. Der noch unvollendete Flugplatz soll aus einem kleinen Terminal, zwei miteinander verbundenen Rollbahnen und einer Nord-Süd-Landebahn mit Wendepunkten an beiden Enden bestehen. Khan Jahan Ali (* um 1380; † 25. Oktober 1459) war ein türkischstämmiger Heerführer. Einzelnachweise
Khan Jahan Ali Airport

Khan Jahan Ali Airport is a planned airport in Bagerhat, Bangladesh. As it is very close to Khulna, it was planned to mainly serve the Khulna city. It is uncertain if the project will be completed as no work has been done since the beginning of the project in 1996, when, following the acquisition of the land and filling of the earth, funds ran out. The as-of-yet incomplete airfield will consist of a small terminal, two connecting taxiways and a north–south oriented runway with turntables at either ends so aircraft can backtrack down it. Development In 2018, it was reported that the airport project had been shifted to a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement and the revised budget for the airport had been reduced from ৳545 crore (US$44 million) to ৳217 crore (US$18 million). The construction deadline has also been extended to June 2020. References

History After the partition of the subcontinent in 1947, the government of Pakistan established the National Library of Pakistan in Karachi in 1962 and a provincial book deposit branch of the Pakistan National Library in Dhaka in 1967. After the liberation war of Bangladesh, it was keenly felt by all quarters that a national library is indispensable for the newborn nation. Considering the necessity and importance, the government resolved to set up the National Library of Bangladesh in Dhaka. The library first started functioning with the manpower, resources and materials inherited from the Provincial Book Deposit Branch. In fact, that book deposit branch was the embryo of the National Library of Bangladesh coming into being in 1973. It was placed under the administration of Directorate of Archives and Libraries along with the National Archives. The directorate is under the Ministry of Cultural Affairs The government of Bangladesh provided the library with air conditioning in 1978, under the government's five-year plan. In 2008 the library was without electricity for about a month because of the Dhaka Electric Supply Company and the Public Works Department refused to fix it.

Biblioteka Narodowa Bangladeszu

Biblioteka Narodowa Bangladeszu – biblioteka narodowa działająca od 1972 w Dhace w Bangladeszu Historia Dyrekcja Archiwów i Bibliotek powstała w 1972 roku i początkowo podlegała Ministerstwu Edukacji, by potem przejść pod zarząd Ministerstwa Kultury. Podlega jej Biblioteka Narodowa Bangladeszu i Archiwum Narodowe Bangladeszu. Instytucje te rozpoczęły działalność w wynajętym lokalu. W 1978 roku rozpoczęto budowę nowego budynku, który składał się z dwóch części: mającego trzy piętra budynku administracyjnego i 8 piętrowego budynku dla biblioteki i archiwum. Budowę ukończono w 1985 roku. Obie instytucje działały wspólnie, ale w 2001 roku rozpoczęto budowę nowego gmachu dla Archiwum. Został on oddany w dwóch etapach, jeden budynek w 2004, a drugi w 2012 roku. Zbiory Dzięki rozporządzeniu o prawach autorskich z 1974 roku biblioteka otrzymała prawo do egzemplarza obowiązkowego wszystkich książek opublikowanych w Bangladeszu. Na mocy aktualizacji ustawy z 2000 roku biblioteka ma prawo do 1 egzemplarza każdego pierwszego wydania książki. Wydawca ma obowiązek dostarczyć ją na własny koszt do biblioteki w ciągu 60 dni od daty publikacji. Obowiązek dostarczania kopii dotyczy również wydawców prasy, a nie dotyczy druków wewnętrznych. Od 1973 roku Biblioteka publikuje co roku bibliografię w języku angielskim i bengalskim. Budynek Projektantem budynku Biblioteki Narodowej w 1978 roku był znany bengalski architekt Muzharul Islam (1923–2012). Ministerstwo Kultury w ramach kompleksu zaplanowało jeszcze budowę siedziby Archiwum Państwowego. Nowy budynek Biblioteki powstał w pobliżu budynku Zgromadzenia Narodowego, które powstało według projektu Louisa Kahna. Rdzeniem siedziby jest centralny siedmiopiętrowy budynek w którym mieszczą się czytelnie, wypożyczalnie i magazyny. Ze wszystkich stron oprócz północy jest on otoczony trójkondygnacyjną konstrukcją nośną z cegły. Ściany centralnej bryły są wycięte na rogach. Nacięcia biegną ukośnie w głąb budynku i mają służyć do doświetlenia części centralnej oraz do podzielenia budynku. Na południu zostały zlokalizowane czytelnie i galerie, administracja została umieszczona na wschodzie, a magazyny na zachodzie. Przypisy
Национальная библиотека Бангладеш

Национальная библиотека Бангладеш — библиотека обязательного экземпляра всех новых книг и других печатных материалов, публикуемых в Бангладеш в соответствии с законом об авторском праве Бангладеш. Она была основана в 1973 году, но инфраструктура была заложена в 1967 году, до войны за независимость Бангладеш. Она открыта для общественности и содержит книги на бенгальском и английском языках. История В 1962 году правительство Пакистана создало Национальную библиотеку Пакистана в Карачи, а в 1967 году — провинциальное хранилище книг этой библиотеки в Дакке. После провозглашения независимости Бангладеш возник вопрос открытия национальной библиотеки для нового государства. Учитывая эту необходимость, правительство решило создать Национальную библиотеку Бангладеш в Дакке. Библиотека сначала начала функционировать с персоналом, ресурсами и материалами, унаследованными от провинциального книгохранилища. Фактически, это книгохранилище было предшественником Национальной библиотеки Бангладеш, которая была основана после обретения страной независимости в 1973 году. Она была передана в ведение Управления архивов и библиотек вместе с Национальным архивом. Управление находится в ведении Министерства культуры. Правительство Бангладеш обеспечило библиотеку кондиционерами в 1978 году в соответствии с пятилетним планом правительства. В 2008 году библиотека около месяца была без электричества из-за того, что компания электроснабжения Дакки и Департамент общественных работ отказались ремонтировать поломку. Библиотеку критикуют за отсутствие онлайн-каталога. Примечания
