CCC mayor meet while inspecting the modern production system of GPH Ispat on Wednesday.
CCC Mayor said that even after I took charge as Mayor, the Prime Minister has allocated two and a half thousand crore taka for the infrastructure development of Chattogram. The communication system of Chattogram will change through this project.
"Advanced communication system is very important in industrialization. Chattogram's modern communication system is very helpful for industrialization. The Minister of Health has given us roads, tunnels, and modernized the port.
Now the job of the industrial owners is to establish all modern industries and factories to earn profits as well as employment and the country. Accelerate economic development.”
Almas Shimul, Additional Managing Director of GPH Ispat said, Bangladesh used to import rods and billets. But at present we are exporting abroad by fulfilling the needs of the country. Prime Minister's plan to build Smart Bangladesh is producing rods using advanced technology like GPH Ispat Quantum Electric Arc Furnace in Bantabayan. The high-quality rods produced by us are being used in the construction of various important infrastructures of Bangladesh, as a result of which a huge amount of foreign currency is being saved on the one hand and on the other hand the country's industrial sector is moving forward.
He said, using the world's most advanced quantum electric arc furnace and new technology, we are preparing GPH world-class billets and exporting them to China, the developed country of the world. Recently we have introduced 600 grade rebar in the market which is earthquake resistant, cost effective, durable and BUET tested.
By conserving and reusing mountain runoff water that flows into the ocean, we are operating eco-friendly factories with zero discharge, reducing pressure on groundwater.
"GPH has saved many lives by supplying free oxygen to the remote areas of upazila and public and private hospitals of the country by producing medical oxygen during the transitional period of Corona."
