Hazaribagh deadline moves again

20/08/2015
Press in Bangladesh have reported that government ministers have decided a December deadline for 150 tanneries to move from Hazaribaghto Savar is too early, and set a new date of next July.

The relocation process started more than 10 years ago, an effort to address pollution problems that have plagued the industry in the country. Some parties are blaming the government, while others are holding the tanners responsible.

Shipping minister Shajahan Khan said three quarters of the work on the central waste treatment plant was complete.
