Plannings are underway to construct a multifunctional dike at Cox’s Bazar to protect the sea beach from erosion, like the one the Dutch had built at Rotterdam in the Netherlands, according to a source to the parliamentary standing committee on the ministry of civil aviation and tourism.
Earlier the parliamentary committee recommended for taking steps to modernise the design for protecting the sea beach and increasing the width of the beach. Later the ministry informed the committee that according to the prime minister’s words, sustainable and coordinated development design have been prepared for the construction of multipurpose dikes following the IWM feasibility study.
Another recommendation put forth by the parliamentary committee asked for providing a lasting solution for the break of the sea beach taking into consideration the actions taken by other developed countries utilising technology. After reviewing the different steps taken by the developed countries to hold back the sea, it was decided to build dikes at several points in Cox’s Bazar like the multifunctional dike built at Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
