Farmgate is an area in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. It is one of the busiest and most crowded areas of Dhaka city.[1] From the early 90s', the area has seen the massive building and construction boom. Consequently, the area has gained commercial importance and became one of the major transportation hubs of Dhaka from where anyone can travel to all other parts of the city and throughout the country. Line 6 of the Dhaka Metro Rail has a station there. Today Farmgate has become more of a commercial area than a residential area. Neighboring places of Farmgate are Shahbagh, Kawran Bazar, Panthapath, National Parliament, Rajabazar and Bijoy Soroni.
