History

The "Sheikh Hasina Cantonment" was planned to be established as part of the governments long-term modernization scheme for Bangladesh Armed Forces called the "Forces Goal 2030".

Former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina green lighted the project in 2014[5] which she first announced during a winter exercise of the Bangladesh Armed Forces on January 16, 2015.[6]

The executive committee of the National Economic Council approved the project "Establishment of Sheikh Hasina Cantonment, Barishal" on November 14, 2017. The set up of this cantonment will cost approximately Tk 1,699 crore.[3][4]

On February 8, 2018, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the cantonment.[7][8] After the fall of Prime minister Sheikh Hasina's administration following a mass uprising in July-August 2024, the cantonment was renamed to "Lebukhali Cantonment".[citation needed]
