History of sadarghat ;
Dhaka Sadarghat, also called Sadarghat Port, the Dhaka City River
Front, located in the southern part of Dhaka, on the
river Buriganga,[1] is one of the most dynamic places inDhaka.
Here, the Sadarghat River Boat Terminal is one of the largest river
ports in the world. About 300 large and small passenger river
boats (motorized) depart and arrive with an average of 500
passengers every hour at the terminal every day. According to the
officials at the terminal, 1,50,000 people, in average, use the
terminal for departure and arrival every day. At this place
hundreds of country boats laden with passengers and
merchandise cross the river

Sadarghat Launch Terminal

One of the largest river ports in the world, Sadarghat Launch
Terminal is located on the River Buriganga in the southern part of
Dhaka. More than 50,000 people boarding around 200 large and
small launches use the terminal for departure and arrival
everyday. The localities north of Sadarghat turned into a new city
centre when the offices of the magistrate and collector and many
other offices gradually moved eastwards to the areas near the
terminal in the 1820s according to the official concerned. If

anyone wants to make a brief visit to Sadarghat, she/h will see a

good number of launches and steamers, commercial transports to
country southern parts like Barisal and Patuakhali. Although it is
very chaotic and dynamic river port, the place still attracts the
foreign tourists for its glorious past. At the terminal, the most eye
soothing scene is plying of hundreds of country boats laden with
passengers and merchandise on the river. Many called it the heart
of Dhaka as it carries countrys history and culture. But, it is very
pathetic that the worlds largest river port has to witness a number
of marine accidents almost every Eid celebration, the biggest
religious festival for Muslim. Apart from all this, it is the lifeblood
of old part in the capital.
