Dredging of Buriganga

The Daily Star has brought to our knowledge that ignoring a proposal of free dredging from some individuals, the BIWTA authorities are going to contract it out to a private party which will cost the exchequer nearly Tk. 7 crore (DS: 3.9.10). From the news we learnt that the total contract will be a sheer misuse of people's money. But still the authorities are determined to do the job through surreptitious means. The hidden reasons of this sort of deals are not unperceivable to us. A few months ago we experienced Buriganga river cleaning which ended up misusing the total money. For the sake of proper spending of the poor people's money, the government should take more transparent steps for the bid.
