All development projects should be approved by Sep

Star Business Report
The planning ministry has given a directive to all ministries and divisions to get their projects approved by September as the national election is approaching.
The reason for getting the projects approved by September is that a small
election-time cabinet led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be formed in October.
The election-time government will do only routine work; they cannot take any policy decision, said Planning Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal.
The directive came on Monday from a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec) with the planning minister in the chair.
High officials of all ministries and divisions were present at the meeting, which was held to expedite the implementation of the annual development programme this fiscal year.
Some Tk 180,869 crore has been earmarked for development projects this fiscal year. Of the amount, the allocation for unapproved projects isTk9,550 crore.
The allocation for already approved projects is Tk 130,073 crore, which is 71.91 percent of the total ADP outlay.
The meeting urged the secretaries to take initiative from the start of the year to implement the approved projects,
which should not face any obstacle.
Usually ADP implementation is hindered in an election year. The secretaries have been advised to remain alert so that the ADP implementation is not hampered by election activities.
"Election is a normal process. It will go on alongside the development activities," Kamal said.
Among the approved projects, the highest allocation of Tk 23,995 crore was given to the local government division. It was followed by the power division (Tk 22,632 crore), road transport and highways division (Tk 20,163 crore), science and technology ministry (Tk 11,559 crore), and railways ministry (Tk 10,766 crore).

The meeting was told that since the projects were already approved there should not be any obstacle in their implementation.
The high officials of the Implementation Monitoring and Evaluation Division and the line ministries were advised to monitor project implementation at the field level.
