Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has ordered not to extend the period of the project. Also, the Prime Minister directed that no project can be done which will bring disaster to the nature.

He said this at the National Economic Council (ECNEC) meeting at the NEC conference room of the Ministry of Planning in the capital on Tuesday (November 22).

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina presided over the meeting at 10 am. In this, the Prime Minister said that bridges should always be built in the name of rivers.

In the briefing at the end of the meeting, Planning Minister MA Mannan said that the Prime Minister has also instructed Ekne not to take up any project that harms nature.
