Government officers are entitled to receive a piece of land for giving their life time service to the nation with devotion. Bangladesh Army solved the accommodation problem of the officers through DOHS in and around cantonments. But it has become difficult for the authority to accommodate more number of officers in DOHS as acquisition of land becoming a challenge for the Government due to population increase and changed socio-cultural scenario. Considering the fact, Bangladesh Army has taken a step to build a township with the approval of Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from 23 Nov 2009. The project named Jolshiri Abashon is implementing by Bangladesh Army in between River BALU & River SH*TALAKKHYA covering 2103 acres of land for Defense Officers Housing. Location of the Project
Located at the centre of the eastern fringe of the DMDP area, Jolshiri Abashon is 1.3km to the south of the Purbachal New Town of RAJUK and to the immediate east of the Boshundhara R/A right across the Balu River. It is flanked by the Balu on the west and the Lakhya on the east. From the Dhaka Zero Point, the project is about 21km (route –Zero Point - Mouchak –Rampura – Kuril - Purbachal New Town - Jolshiri) and 15.6km (route –Zero Point – Mouchak – Rampura - Madani Avenue -Jolshiri) away. Also it is about 7 km from the Kuril Flyover through the 300ft Purbachal Link Road and 1.8 km away from Purbachal southern part. Further, it is only 7.5 km from the American Embassy and connects this part of the city directly through the east-bound extension of the Madani Avenue up to and beyond River Balu. This proposed road traverses the Jolshiri Abashon’s south perimeter and across the Lakhya River, will connect with the Dhaka-Sylhet National Highway. The eleven constituent Mouzas of the project area belong to Rupganj Thana under Narayanganj district
