Oral saline factory in Jhenaidah
In 2013, the prime minister inaugurated an oral saline factory in Jhenaidah, the construction of which cost nearly Tk 1 crore and took six years to complete. However, the factory remained shut ever since. The case is further proof of how poorly government projects are planned and executed, often without conducting any feasibility study beforehand. It is necessary to ask why Jhenaidah was chosen for an oral saline factory in the first place.
If it was just to appease local voters who want to see infrastructural projects in their area, then those behind it must be held accountable for this flagrant waste of taxpayer money. If the permission was given based on a feasibility study, then we must ask why the factory production hasn't started yet. The government must refrain from wasting public money.
