Bangladesh: high court dismisses treatment plant complaint

09/01/2012
Dhaka’s tanning industry appeared to clear a further obstacle to its proposed move from the Hazaribagh district of the Bangladeshi capital to a new site at Savar, 30 kilometres to the west.

First mooted in 2003, the move appeared to have met final approval in December when the government announced that it had awarded a contract to build a common effluent treatment plant on the Savar site, the source of a long-running dispute between tannery owners and the authorities, to a Chinese contractor, JLEPCL-DCLJV Limited.

However, another of the firms that bid for the contract, VA Tech WABAG from India, raised an objection to the process, questioning some of the documentation its rival had presented.

On January 9, the high court in Dhaka dismissed the objection.
