Salman F Rahman Angry With BUET for Making Wrong Design

Salman F Rahman, private industrial and investment adviser to the prime minister, has complained that BUET has not done the design work of the Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) in Savar leather industry. That is why this industrial city has not been complied with yet, he said.

He made the remarks in an online discussion titled "Reviving the Leather Sector in the Aftermath of Covid-19" on Tuesday (July 13th).

The conference was organized by the Economic Reporters Forum (ERF), The Asia Foundation and the private research organization Research and Policy Integration for Development (RAPID).

Salman F Rahman said, "We have not been able to comply with it yet." Those who designed the CETP did not do the job properly. We have become overly dependent on BUET. But BUET has led us astray. BUET did not admit it even after repeatedly designing wrong. But since it has become an infrastructure, it cannot be dismantled. Now it needs to be reformed.

"Our plan is to complete the necessary CETP reform work with a foreigner," the ERF press release quoted Salman F. Rahman as saying. I have already taken an initiative. I have asked an international company to take responsibility for this. I told them how to arrange for it to get LWG certification. They are already working with Savar CETP. They will give me a presentation soon. I have asked the Ministry of Commerce to take the matter seriously.
