Visit the Forbidden Shipbreaking yard

Shitakunda Shipbreaking Yard in Chittagong is one of the largest shipbreaking yards in the world. Many people are unaware of its existence, but it is currently banned from within the plant. It was initially created with approximately 40 kilometers of shoreline along the Bay of Bengal before their independence. The ship-breaking business grew quickly as a result of low labor costs, geographic position, and government illiteracy. The environment is the primary issue confronting the ship-breaking sector. The most serious hazard to the neighborhood forests is the toxic and gas emissions from those. All of the manual crashing and dismantling puts people's lives in danger due to a lack of proper protection. Many employees were killed or had body parts amputated in accidents, and compensation was little.

When they drive through the region, they can see dread and menace in the eyes of the residents. The factory is no longer accessible from the inside, although the ship's yard may be seen from the outside by boat. There are usually 50 to 60 boats on the shore, and you can observe how they operate while risking their lives while cursing in the river. This restricted location is a popular destination for tourists and photographers.
