But there was no lay out of roads at that time and inhabitants used kutcha lanes, which were created automatically by use. In the year 1962 Dr. Abdul Gaffar Khan MB (Cal), a renowned physician and social worker previously living at Calcutta, on the instance of his younger brother, the earlier settler Janab Abul Hashem Khan, purchased six katha land at the north-western corner of the area, just beside the then East Pakistan Rifles (EPR) boundary, at an amount of Rs.800.00 and on his initiation the initial inhabitants started to lay out the roads of the locality and accordingly the then Dacca Pourashava took over the area and started laying out the infrastructures, including paving the kutcha roads and allocating holding numbers. Accordingly, New Paltan holdings have been started with the holding of Dr. Abdul Gaffar Khan MB (Cal) with allocated number 1. In the year 1968 the then distributor of Electricity Power Development Board (PDB) laid out Electricity line in the locality and Dhaka Water & Sewerage Authority (WASA) laid water line in the year 1974. The Titas Gas Company laid a gas line in the year 1976 and thence from New Paltan area became full-fledged habitable area. The T&T department gave Telephone line to the locality in the year 1980. Al-Hera Jame Mashjid Complex: At the northern side of the locality, beside BGB gate no.3, a Mashjid Complex is situated under the ownership of Hazi Abdur Rashid Dilliwala Waqf Estate. It has a Hefz Khana and a liillah boarding where currently 70 students are getting Quran-e-hafez training including food and lodging free. A number of utility shops are situated at the ground floor of the mosque. Uttaran Juba Sangshad: A registered Social welfare association of the local youths named 'Uttaran Juba Sangshad renders social service in the field of clearing Garbage from each residence of the locality in lieu of Tk.20.00 per family. It also observes National Days in a befitting manner and rises to social need in time. Deep Tubewell:In the year 2012 the local MP managed to allot a Deep tube-well to be set up at the north-eastern corner of Iraqi playground, but hampered by legal proceeding. Later after winning the legal battle with so-called Iraqi Association, who are falsely claiming ownership over the Iraqi play ground, the water pump was installed which now serves the long cherished demand for adequate water supply in the locality.
