Communication system

Jessore district has a long history of development of roads and communication system. In the 15th century, the first road of Jessore district was built on the bank of Bhairab. Khan Jahan Ali built it on his way to the South with his followers.In 1820 Kha. Jha.Ng Godhhbu wrote, there are 20 miles of roads in Jessore district and there is no bridge in the river. In the first half of the 18th century, several bridges were built in the district by once  Kali Prasad Roy Kali Poddar. He paid for the construction of roads and bridges. Later, the development of Jessore roadways increased. He has constructed a total of 264 miles long regional roads in the district till 1875. However, the total road traffic in Jessore city's Jessore municipality is far from this estimate. In 1924, the district's cast and noncast road mileage went down to 1545. In other words, the density of roads in the district was much higher. In the post-independence period, the district roads were widely developed. Road connectivity with the whole country and neighboring India was established. Still, the situation of roads in rural areas is not good.Rural area roads are ineligible to move for heavy rains and normal monsoon rain. As a result, people's normal movement, taking health care, going to school for children,troubles to supply and market other products including agriculture. In the development of roads, people in remote areas get the benefit of communicating their lives through communication facilities. Besides in the rainy season  in the absence of digging of roads  and due to lack of renovation work some road movement is inconvenient.

Navy way :

The economic importance of river in greater Jessore district is immense. There are a total of 89 nautical miles waterways and there are ancient history of shipping. In the middle of the twentieth century, the steamer service was opened on Jessore river. During the period, the depth of the rivers diminished, the steamer service gradually stopped. Basically navigability of the rivers was the selection of all the naval transport system. Only the western rivers are shallow and boat moving is possible  only in the rainy season for small boats. The Kopotakkho river is navigable in the rainy season from Bagha to Jhikargachha. So small boats navigate  from Jhikargacha to Chaugacha on the north but no boat navigates after Chaugachha in winter. Even in the west of Keshabpur the Vadra dry up local or machinery-operated boat travels throughout the year on the bent road from Alatpol to Bhati area inside the Sundarbans. This way  rice loaded boats come from Khulna  to Keshabpur. However  the rivers in the east also remain navigable throughout the year. Madhumati river plays an important role in shipping. The Madhumati river flowing through the eastern boundary of the district is gradually  navigable  throughout the year

in the case of travel the main river path.Digging canal between Novogonga and Modhumoti river increasedshipping transportation of the east and also trade and commerce.

The length of  rail road of great Jessore District is105.05 kilometers. The first railway connection of the district was established in 1884 therefore  during the British period, a private sector based company established  rail lineKolkata -Jashore.  Initially the railway was from Kolkata to Jessore Taltola Hat. Some of the notable railway stations at the rute are: Zichargaha, Ghat, Godakhali, Navaruna, and Benapal etc. all broad gauge railways.

Airport :

Second, in Jessore during the great War,The headquarters of Bengal Air Force was established. As a result, the city's communication system began to be of great importance since that time. This is the continuation of Jessore Airport establishment  at one time.
