Dhaka to Cox’s Bazar directly through rail journey within

communication with Cox’s Bazar but it is very important
to build a railway linkup to Cox’s Bazar in order to
mounting facilities of the tourists. In 1890 the
feasibilities of a rail line from Chittagong to Myanmar
via Ramu and Cox’s Bazar was surveyed by then Burma
railway authority which was brought into consideration.
In this respect an inclusive survey operation was carried
on by the Burma Railway in 1908-1909. A further survey
operation was launched in between 1917 and 1919 for
railway transport from Dohazari to Akial via Ramu
aiming at founding a railway communication between
Chittagong and Akial (Myanmar).
