Chittagong

City and port in Bangladesh, 16 km/10 mi from the mouth of the Karnaphuli River, on the Bay of Bengal; population (2001 est) 1,640,000. It has a well-sited natural harbour and its trade increased considerably, at the expense of Calcutta (now Kolkata), after Pakistan achieved independence in 1947. After Dhaka, Chittagong is the leading industrial centre of Bangladesh, and industries include cotton and jute mills, iron and steel, oil refining, engineering, and chemicals.
