Adviser Dr. Bidhan Ranjan Poddar has reassured that the much-anticipated Sunamganj-Netrokona flyover project has not been canceled. “There were some irregularities in the tendering process, so it will be re-tendered. Work will begin as soon as a fresh tender is floated,” he said.
He also noted that the proposal for establishing residential schools in the haor region failed to gain support from teachers and is unlikely to proceed. On land acquisition for the flyover, Poddar said compensation will follow existing laws.
The project, approved by ECNEC in November 2021, was designed to boost rural infrastructure across Sunamganj, including Jamalganj and Dharmapasha upazilas.
