Feni
This article is about Feni, a district of Bangladesh. There is a separate
article on the spirit feni, more commonly spelled fenny.
Feni is a small southern district of Bangladesh, bordering (clockwise from the
north) Tripura in India, Chittagong district, the Bay of Bengal, Noakhali
district and Comilla district. It is comprised of six sub-districts
("Upazilas"): Feni, Chhagalnaiya, Parshuram, Fulgazi, Daganbhuiyan and
Sonagazi.
Before becoming a full-fledged district in 1984, it was part of the Noakhali
district. Feni has a moderate climate, and a rich history dating back almost
3000 years. Feni is home to many noted Bangladeshis, including Begum Khaleda
Zia, Prime Minister of Bangladesh (1991-1996 and 2001-present), Zahir Raihan,
Shahidullah Kaisar, Habibullah Bahar Chowdhury, Hamidul Haque Chowdhury. It
has a large contingent of its population residing in the Middle East and other
parts of the world. Recently, a Feni native, Abul Kashem, was in the news when
he was captured by Iraqi insurgents while driving a truck for a Kuwaiti
company. He was subsequently released without any harm.
The main highway of Bangladesh, Dhaka-Chittagong inter-district highway passes
through Feni. Buses usually take 3-4 hours to traverse the 165 KM distance
from Dhaka and around 2.5 hours from Chittagong. Panaromic landscape
comprising of the Tripura valley, Feni River estuarine and green paddy fields
add to Feni district's scenic beauty.
