| Present Status: |
| Hardrock has been
extracted upto May 2009 a
sum of total of 5,83,857
metric ton and 3,23,748 M.
Ton of hardrock have already
been sold to different
organizations. The existing
crusher installed at the
project site can crush
hardrock 5 mm to 20 mm, 20
mm to 40 mm and 60 to 40 mm.
A 30 M. Ton and A 50 M Ton
capacity of truck Weighing
station have already been
installed at the project
site, by which the loaded
track are measured for
selling purpose of hardrock.. |
| Environment
Preservation: |
| The project will make a
significant contribution to
improve environment and
ecological balance by
replacing clay-burnt bricks
in construction works.
Present brick manufacturing
not only causes damage to
agricultural land but also
causes deforestation due to
indiscriminate use of
fire-wood in brick-field and
other purposes. The Project
will significantly reduce
production of bricks for
construction purposes and
thus held to check
deforestation. |
| The company has taken up
necessary steps to preserve
environment at the project
site during its
implementation project. The
mine water are being examine
regularly in order to
prevent pollution of
surrounding areas. Besides
various gases which evolved
due to blasting are measured
by gas analyzer regularly.
With the help of spraying
and water using local fan,
gases are diluted and
eliminated as such miners
are saved from any hazards. |
| In line of the
Government policy, 2818 nos.
of different varieties
saplings were planted in the
project area in order to
keep ecological balance. |
| Socio Economic
Development of the Project
Area: |
| The following Socio
Economic Development had
been established because of
the project: |
| Up-gradation &
completion of existing
Phulbari - Maddhapara Road
(13 km) by Roads and High
ways Department. The work
has already been completed. |
| Bhabanipur – Maddhapara
Railway line (14.5 km)
construction by Bangladesh
Railway. The Railway line
has already been completed. |
| Rangpur – Maddhapara –
Barapukuria – Syedpur (about
70 km) 33KV Power
Transmission line by
Bangladesh Power Development
Board (PDB). The
transmission line has
already been completed. |
| Maddhapara – Mithapukur
and Maddhapara –Badargonj
Road upgrading and
completion by Roads & High
Ways. Roads are being
implemented by Roads & High
ways. |
| The project will also
contribute in creation of
linkage industries,
infrastructural facilities,
direct and indirect job
opportunities for overall
socio-economic development
of the project area. |
| Human Resources
Development: |
| At present total
Manpower of the company
stands at which included 96
officers and 62 staffs. In
local and abroad various
types of training courses
have been organized to
develop the human resources
of company. 20 nos. of
officers have already been
trained in different
discipline of mining in DPR
of Korea. 320 nos. of mine
workers have been locally
trained by Korean Mine
experts. After completion of
the project they would be
employed in place of
Agreement with Supervisory.
23 nos. of officers Have
already been trained in
Poland under the
Supplementary Agreement with
Supervisory Consultancy. 57
officers had also been
trained up locally in
different courses from
