The government is moving forward with a master plan to relocate Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University to Salna, Gazipur, to facilitate the construction of a modern secretariat complex in Agargaon, Dhaka, at an estimated cost of around four thousand crore taka. Although land was previously allocated in Salna for the university under a 1965 plan, the authorities had not taken effective steps to shift until now.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Housing and Public Works has started working on the project at the old trade fair ground, targeting completion by June 2029. The Cabinet gave policy approval for the relocation on October 18, though urban planners have urged a reconsideration of the decision.
