Ghats :
LGED
constructs improved facilities at Ghats to provide safe efficient and hygienic
conditions for the loading unloading and transfer of goods and passengers.
Ghats have greatest importance where inland water transport are used. The
demand for ghats is high particularly in Haor areas where boat transport
is the only means to get access to the national road network. The improved
ghats will comprise "River-Bank" facilities for safe unloading and loading
of goods and passengers and where necessary for mooring of boats and "on-land"
facilities including a paved area, internal access road, drainage, a passenger
shed, tubewells, latrines and garbage pits.
