Reviewing the allegations, the parliamentary standing committee on the ministry asked the sub-committee formed earlier to probe the anomalies in the CDA projects and submit its report in 15 days.

"We will discuss the issue at our next meeting after receiving the probe report," standing committee Chairman Shajahan Chowdhury told reporters emerging from the meeting held at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.

Convenor of the sub-committee and ruling BNP lawmaker Sultan Mahmud Babu told reporters that members of the sub-committee will visit Chittagong to probe the alleged irregularities in the CDA projects.

The parliamentary body received a set of allegations concerning the projects in the last six months.

Members of the committee said they received allegations that contractors have taken huge amounts of money without completing the projects. Even contacts for the projects have been awarded without the floating of any tenders.

"Some unscrupulous CDA officials are involved in the irregularities," a member of the House body alleged. "Officials of the CDA and the contractors have shared the money among themselves without completing the work."
