Economic development in Sitakunda
is largely driven by the Dhaka-Chittagong Highway and the railway.
Though Sitakunda is predominantly an agricultural
area, it also has the largest Ship
breaking industry in the world. The industry has been accused of
neglecting workers' rights, especially concerning work safety
practices and child labor. It has also been accused of harming the
environment, particularly by causing soil contamination. Sitakunda's ecosystems are
further threatened by deforestation, over-fishing, and groundwater
contamination. The upazila is also susceptible to natural hazards such as earthquakes,
cyclones, and storm
surges. It lies on one of the most active seismic faults in Bangladesh, the
Sitakunda–Teknaf fault.
Now
enormous industries settled here. Also has the largest ship breaking industry
in the world. There are long sea beaches in this area; this position of Bay
of Bengal is called sandwip channel.
From the top of hill you can obverse the beauty of this beach. Surrounded by
green tamarisk trees, the beauty of the beach is indescribable. The heavy waves
of the sea were hitting the beach as if there is an intense friendship between
the beach and the vast sea. Visitor spends a remarkable moment at this beach.
