Patuakhali city

The city of Patuakhali is situated beside two local rivers: Laukathi River and Lohalia River. During high tides some of the regions of Patuakhali get flooded. The Bay of Bengal is not far from the region.

At the entrance of the city there is a bridge that connects Barisal (the divisional city) with Patuakhali and Kuakata beach.

As Patuakhali is a coastal area, it is affected almost every year by natural disasters like cyclones, floods and tornadoes. To help the disaster-affected people, many NGO's are active in the area. They play a vital role in developing the life style of poor people.

Port of Payra

Port of Payra is planned to become the third sea port of Bangladesh (after Chittagong and Mongla). The Indian Minister of Shipping Mr. Nitin Gadkari announced in April 2016 that a proposal and detailed report for a port at Payra in Bangladesh have been completed but most details remain obscure. India and Bangladesh will set up a high-level committee to work out details, including investment details, but India lacks technical and financial capacity. However, this is still in the speculative stage only. While initially Indian involvement in the development of this port was still not clear,[6] India, an impoverished country, is interested in this port to counter China's influence in the Bay of Bengal.[7]
