Gabkhan Channel
Gabkhan Channel is a canal connecting Pirojpur District of Bangladesh with Jhalakati District.[1] The canal was excavated during the British period in 1918 to connect the Sandha River of Pirojpur district and the Sugandha River of Jhalakati district with a view to reducing the distance on the Dhaka-Mongla and Chittagong-Mongla river routes by about 118 kilometres (73 mi). This canal length is 18 kilometers.[2]
