Bangla govt to focus on unfinished construction works

Dhaka: Finance Adviser AB Mirza Azizul Islam said that the government would concentrate more on completing the unfinished construction work of numerous bridges and culverts across the country to serve the people and ensure the best use of public resources.

‘We will now take initiatives to complete the unfinished construction work of bridges and culverts, that are now of no use, to make the best use of the investment already made,’ Aziz told reporters when asked to comment on news items carried recently by a Bangla daily on nearly 2,750 unfinished and unnecessary bridges in the country.

‘Probing any irregularities of sanctioning allocations for unnecessary bridges and spending them will take place later,’ he told reporters.
He was answering questions from reporters after emerging from a meeting of the executive committee of the National Economic Council at the auditorium in the Planning Commission.
