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.
