Construction Work

Negligence in maintaining quality unpardonable

PM tells engineers

UNB, Dhaka
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asked engineers to be honest in their work and forewarned that any negligence in maintaining quality of construction work will be considered unpardonable.
"Government will ensure congenial atmosphere of work and provide all cooperation so that you can smoothly perform your job. But. be careful, we will not allow any corruption, procrastination or any other negligence," she said while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the 61st founding anniversary of the Institution of Engineers Bangladesh (1EB) on its premises yesterday.
She said engineers should have cent percent honesty and integrity as some 85 percent money of the country's total
development activities is spent by the engineers.
“Ensure quality of your works. Your works must be sustainable," she told the engineers.
She sought cooperation from tire engi ncers in implementing her government's plan to turn Bangladesh into a modern and prosperous country by 2021.
Hasina also urged them to give special look into the environmental factors during all types of construction works.
She disclosed a plan of her government to provide rural people with accommodation facilities by building quality and healthy but low-priced houses up to union level.
"Commoners in many areas have to suffer from lack of healthy and sustainable houses. We want to rid people of this basic problem by providing them with
quality but cheap houses,” the prime minister said.
Country's engineers will have to come forward to evolve appropriate technology for building such houses, she said.
She said her government has already planned dredging major rivers of the country to increase navigability of the waterways. “If the depth of the rivers can be increased, the rivers' water-containing capacity will be increased. This way we can save our people from becoming homeless."
About the present electricity crisis, the PM said the power situation has started improving as the government is working very hard.
Later, the prime minister unveiled the plaque of a monument to the memory of the engineers martyred in the Liberation War in 1971.
