The Island Of Silence..Nijhum Dwip. Nijhum Dwip:A green dot in the blue of Bay of Bengal,is the southern most island of Bangladesh.
Map Of Nijhum Dwip. A cluster of islands (mainly, Ballar Char, Kamlar char,Char Osman and Char Muri) emerged in the early 1950s as an alluvium in the shallow estuary of the Bay of Bengal On the south of Noakhali. These new sandbanks first drew the notice of a group of fishermen, who named it Baular Char. In 1974 the Forest Department took an aforestation program for duration of twenty years in the north side of island. Covering an area of nine thousand acres it has now developed into a deep forest with a variety of plant species. Among the trees Keora is much seen. Besides this Gewa, Kankra, Bain, Babul, Karamja, Pashur and many other species are seen.
It was named 'NijHUM DwiP' by former Minister Amirul Islam Kalam in 1979 observing its desolation and mild nature. This island is called deer forest also.
There are no regular river transport or passenger route from Dhaka to Nijhum Dwip. It is possible, however, to reach the island by travelling to Hatiya from Sadarghat Launch Terminal via steamer and then from Hatiya to Nijhum Dwip via troller.
