C T Online Desk: The sluice gate of Maheshkhal can be opened sitting at home. The gate will open automatically if the canal water rises in the middle of heavy rain. When the power goes off, the generator will turn on automatically. There is no problem even if the operator is stuck in the rain, three pumps can be turned on from the mobile apps, which will pump five and a half thousand liters of water per second and throw it into the river on the other side of the gate.
One of the most modern sluice gates in the world at a cost of Tk 135 crore will be launched in the city’s Maheshkhal next month. Twelve gates brought from the Netherlands have already been installed. With the opening of the switch gate in the Chittagong port area, it is hoped that the adjoining areas of the city, including Agrabad Halishahar, will be relieved of the dreadful waterlogging from next month.
