Bangladesh's Ministry of Industries has asked the Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC), to finish work quickly at the Saver project, for the relocation of over 220 tanneries from Hazaribagh. The cost of the project is BDT1.75 billion ($27 million) and is being implemented in response to serious concerns from environmentalists over protecting the Buriganga River from the toxic pollution caused by the tanneries.
