Zaheed for completing project works quickly

DHAKA, June 28, 2020 (BSS)-State Minister for Water Resources Zaheed Farooque has directed the authorities concerned to complete the project works quickly.

The state minister gave the directive while he was presiding over a review meeting on the progress of revised Annual Development Programme (ADP) projects at the conference room of the ministry here.

Zaheed Farooque said in the past, it was often seen that one year passed usually after a project got approval. But now it has been reduced to three months, he added.

“But it’s a lot of time. The project director has to be appointed within 15 days of the project so that the work of the project can be geared up,” Zaheed remarked.

Urging the Water Development Board to work sincerely, the state minister said, “We need to be in constant touch with the local volunteers including the chairmen of the union councils for immediate news of river erosion.”

Deputy Minister for Water Resources AKM Enamul Hoque Shameem, Senior Secretary Kabir Bin Anwar, Additional Secretary (Development) Mahmudul Islam, Director General of Water Development Board AM Aminul Haque, Additional Director General (Western Region) of Water Development Board Habibur Rahman and other senior officials were present on the occasion.

The meeting was informed that although about 34 projects were expected to be completed by June 2020, 14 projects could have been completed during this timeframe due to the outbreak of Coronavirus.
