RAJUK Land Clearance and Design Approval through Online

The number of citizens in Dhaka who have not been embarrassed to get land use clearance and design approval services for building construction is very low. According to the prevailing rules, one has to apply for design approval and land use clearance. But no one knows when the approval will come. Month after month, files move from one table to another. In some cases, the whereabouts of the file are not available. Again, the citizens were cheated on various pretexts. There is also a brokerage active around this service. Now the Capital Development Authority (RAJUK) has taken initiative to relieve the customers from this suffering. RAJUK's design approval and RAJUK land clearance is now online. They are continuing to make 100% of the service activities online.

According to the concerned officials of RAJUK, the customers suffer the most in getting design approval and land clearance for building construction in the capital. To facilitate this service, RAJUK has taken up a project called 'Urban Resilience Project: RAJUK Part'. The project has been piloted in Gulshan area with World Bank funding. Now the applicants are getting the service sitting at home. If successful, the service will be launched in other areas under RAJUK within the next six months. Citizens say that the service activities of RAJUK will create a positive image among the people. Therefore, RAJUK has to ensure that this service is not stopped due to lack of skilled manpower.


According to the RAJUK Development Control Branch, a website of 'Urban Resilience Project' was launched at a hotel in the capital on 19 September 2021 to facilitate RAJUK's services and an agreement for electronic construction permitting system (ECPS) service was signed. The agreement was signed by ABM Amin Ullah Noori, Chairman of RAJUK, Mobasher Hossain, President of Institute of Architects Bangladesh (IAB) and Shahadat Hossain Shiblu, General Secretary, Institution of Engineers Bangladesh. Now this ECPS has been piloted in RAJUK's Sub-Zone-2 of Zone-3 (Gulshan, Mirpur, Savar, Tongi) and Sub-Zone-2 of Zone-4 in Gulshan area. RAJUK's design approval and land use clearance services is now can be found online on the website.

However, RAJUK has expressed inability to provide information on how many people have applied for or received the service till October. Resident of Dhaka city said that this online service of RAJUK is positive. However, RAJUK officials and employees need to create a positive attitude towards online services. Otherwise, citizens will have to suffer to get online services.

RAJUK Director (Development Control) Mubarak Hossain said that the system has been developed with the advice of foreign companies and skilled manpower to ensure smooth service of all construction works in a short time. As a next step, this service will be launched in sub-zone-2 of zone-6. Later, RAJUK will implement this online land clearance and plan approval service in all zones and sub-zones in phases to resolve possible errors. Then everything from the application process to the solvency certificate will be completed online. Customers can take this service at home. Besides, they will be able to deposit various service fees at their convenient time and place. Banking and mobile banking systems have also been added.


According to RAJUK, the overall objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of government agencies in the country to respond effectively to emergencies in Dhaka and Sylhet. The secondary objective is to improve the quality of new construction work in Dhaka and Sylhet, to form and operate an Urban and Resilience Unit under RAJUK, and to establish a digital electrical construction approval system.

To this end, the Urban Resilience Project seeks to create an enabling environment for centrally coordinated and locally managed disaster risk management. The Urban Resilience Project website said that RAJUK is implementing 'Urban Resilience Project: RAJUK Part' with World Bank funding. This is one of the priority projects of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Through the implementation of this project, Bangladesh, especially the RAJUK area will be able to significantly deal with the risk of earthquakes and above all an active resilient unit will monitor the capital Dhaka round the clock, who will work efficiently in dealing with emergencies like earthquakes, building collapses and fires.

SEA ME WE 6 | Bangladesh will Connect with New Submarine Cable



Bangladesh is going to be connected with the third submarine cable for the development and to provide better Internet services in the country using 5G technology. The government expects that the connected submarine cable will be a milestone in economic development and growth in the age of communication technology. The government will sign an agreement to join the international SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium in April 2020.

Bangladesh will have access to the main cable of the submarine from June 2023. It will meet the demand of the Internet bandwidth up to 2030. Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company Limited-BSCCL sources said that Bangladesh has become a member of the SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium which has been formed for the new submarine cable line. The cable will be connected to the SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium between Singapore and Sri Lanka.

Through the consortium, Bangladesh will get a total of 5 terabytes of bandwidth internet from Cox's Bazar to Singapore and 5 terabytes from Cox's Bazar to France. To get connected with it, the distance from the Cox's Bazar Landing Station to the main line beneath the deep sea will be 1850 km long. The connection will cost Tk 690 crore. Almost 89 percent of the amount will be spent on cable only. The final decision will be taken at a high level meeting soon. Bangladesh will sign the original agreement with the consortium in April. A memorandum of understanding was signed last September for this.



In this regard, Postal and Telecommunications Minister Mostafa Jabbar said, "We are now in the age of five-G technology. But still we are using low quality broadband facilities. In this reality, the third submarine cable will be a milestone in technology development and economic growth”. The final agreement to join the international consortium will be done in April. As a result, Bangladesh will connect to the main cable of the third submarine in 2023. This connection will meet our bandwidth demand for the next 10 years. The minister also added that Bangladesh has made huge technological progress. With it, the new submarine cable will meet our long-term demand.

The cable distance of the Singapore-France connection to the SEA-ME-WE-6 consortium is 20 thousand kilometers. Apart from Bangladesh, other 16 countries will be connected to this information super highway. Three companies will be connected from China. There will be 20 landing stations. Bangladesh joined the consortium on September last year. The main route between Singapore to France will be 1850 km away from Bangladesh. This distance is the route of Bangladesh itself. And Bangladesh will bear the full cost of installing its own route cable.

Members of the SEA-ME-WE 6 consortium will collectively pay for the main line, which is located between Singapore-France. Basically, Bangladesh's own station will be set up in the middle of the Bay of Bengal between Singapore and Sri Lanka. All the consortium work will be done by the company. The company that will get the job of SEA-ME-WE 6, the tender evaluation and finalization program of the consortium in Singapore, will be finalized after doing a pre-survey.

The cable would come from the branching station and connect to the landing station of Cox's Bazar. This present landing station is for SEA-ME-WE 4, which is the country's first submarine cable landing station. This will be extended and will be used for SEA-ME-WE 6. The meaning of SEA-ME-WE is Southeast Asia - Middle East and Western Europe. The cable is placed through this area and the name of each area is connected.

For the last time in the SEA-ME-WE 5 line connected countries of this area were Bangladesh, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Djibouti, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, France, Myanmar and Yemen. These 19 countries are linked through 19 landing points.


Internet users and demand is increasing day by day in Bangladesh. To meet the future demand of internet bandwidth this SEA-ME-WE line 6 will definitely play an important role in the technology and communication industry of Bangladesh.

Thanks,

New Facebook's LOGO 2019 | It is Coming


Facebook is changing their logo. Facebook is not just an app anymore. Various other companies or organizations like WhatsApp, Instagram, Oculus, Portal, Calibra, LiveRail etc are owned by Facebook. With one logo ‘FaceBook’ it is very much inappropriate to accurately depict the entire organization. So Facebook's logo is changing. The logo is supposed to be put to use in the “coming weeks” within Facebook products and marketing materials.

The popular and famous online THE VERGE says on their report, "This new logo will surely solve all of Facebook’s problems, New logo represents Facebook the parent company'.

Facebook's chief marketing officer Antonio Lucio said in a blog post that the new branding - which has the Facebook name spelled out in a different font than the one that's adorned its namesake service for years - was "designed for clarity, and uses custom typography and capitalization to create visual distinction between the company and app."

On Monday, 4 November 2019, Facebook unveiled a new logo as a parent company in their newsroom. In this logo, only the word Facebook is highlighted in a generic font. A GIF made logo uses few colors combination to show all the organizations, such as Facebook with blue, WhatsApp with green and Instagram with pink etc. The new Facebook logo will be seen in various marketing products and services along with Facebook soon.

In their blog post on Facebook, they said, they started out as a single app. After 15 years, the number of Facebook products and services has increased. Different businesses have been added here. That’s why Facebook is changing the brand logo to give clearer idea of ​​Facebook products and services.

FaceBook's AI Tool | Facial Recognition System


Facebook's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Team has developed a tool that can fool the Facial Recognition System. This will prevent identifying anyone faces by mistake from a video. This system is called 'de-identification' system. It also works on live video. The main facial feature of a video's content is changed using machine learning in the system.

A report by famous tech website VentureBeat says, face recognition may cause privacy issues. In addition, there may be abuse of technology such as changing the facial appearance of the video. Facebook's new tool will prevent such type of misuse. Earlier the de-identification system used on images.

This tool will be presented at a conference called ‘International Conference on Computer Vision’ in Seoul, South Korea, next week. The tool of facial recognition has been announced when $ 35 billion class action lawsuit against Facebook is not over.

According to an IANS report, Facebook has had a $ 35 billion class-action lawsuit in the US state of Illinois. Facebook requested to dismiss the facial recognition related lawsuit case in the state. But a three-member of San Francisco judge panel rejected Facebook’s appeal.


The complaint stated that Facebook did not seek permission before identifying people images by scanning of Illinois people. They did not even know how long that information would be stored on Facebook. Facebook has begun mapping their facial identities since the beginning of the 2011.

If Facebook loses in this case, then they have to pay every person a fine from $ 1,000 to $ 5,000. For total 7 million users FaceBook will have to pay around $ 35 from their pocket.

The judge in the court said that facial recognition software violates a person's personal affairs and factual preferences. This violates the Illinois Bio-metric Information Privacy Act.

Now we can wait and see what’s going to happen next!
