The construction of the Trishal Upazila Parishad complex in Mymensingh has remained suspended for two years, despite a budget of Tk 6.82 crore. The project, launched on 10 October 2022 under the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED), was awarded to Khulna-based contractor M/S MI Trading and Co. The work was scheduled for completion by June 2024, but progress stopped at 40 percent after multiple deadline extensions. Construction materials, including rods and sand, are deteriorating at the site.

During construction, the contractor reportedly used 16-millimeter rods instead of the specified 20-millimeter ones, leading to the demolition of 12 RCC pillars for noncompliance. The contractor allegedly left the site in 2024 without paying workers. LGED later canceled the work order after failed attempts to contact the contractor. Site inspections revealed rusting and stolen rods from the unfinished structure.

Upazila Engineer Zobayet Hossain said the work order was recently canceled and that three notices were issued for joint measurement with the contractor. If no cooperation is received, LGED plans to conduct the measurement with an executive magistrate and proceed with a new tender.
