RAJBARI, Nov 28, 2025 (BSS) - A significant new aesthetic installation named 
'Jolokabya' was inaugurated on the banks of Padma River in the Gozardabazar 
area of Rajbari district. 

The new structure, funded by the Zila Parishad, was officially opened on 
Thursday by Deputy Commissioner Sultana Akter.

Jolokabya is described as more than just an installation; it represents a 
unique coordination of nature, aesthetics, and public welfare. Situated along 
the bank of the Padma River, it has already become a promising new 
destination, offering relief, recreation, and potential for the local people.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by several senior officials, including 
Additional Deputy Commissioner (Revenue) Tarif Ul Hasan and Additional Deputy 
Commissioner (General) Shankar Chandra Baidya.

Sultana Akter emphasized that this project is part of a larger mission to 
transform Rajbari into a district that is beautiful, clean, and advanced in 
terms of quality of life. 

She stated that Jolokabya is an important addition to this ongoing progress. 

Both the District Administration and the Zila Parishad are jointly 
implementing various projects aimed at developing the Padma banks into 
aesthetically pleasing, healthy and suitable spaces for people to spend time.

Dr. Mahmudul Hasan, chief executive officer (CEO) of the Zila Parishad, noted 
that the construction of Jolokabya will not only increase recreational 
opportunities for local residents but also attract outside tourists to the 
area. 

This increased visitation is expected to have a positive impact on the local 
economy, he added.

The local community has widely welcomed the establishment. Rakibul Islam, a 
local resident and businessman, expressed gratitude that the government 
fulfilled their long-standing desire for an aesthetic public recreation 
center in the Gozardabazar area of the Padma bank. 

He highlighted the project as evidence of the District Administration and 
Zila Parishad's responsible commitment to continuous work for the betterment 
of people's lives.

The populace believed that this successful coordination of development, 
beauty, and public service will further accelerate the humanitarian progress 
of the Rajbari district.
