“The ADP will not be implemented fully in this fiscal,” he said, blaming the terror attack on Gulshan's Holey Artisan Bakery. The minister told a press conference on Monday that "almost all the foreigners left the country after the attack on foreigners at Holey Artisan Bakery in Gulshan". "Later they (foreigner experts) returned following various government efforts, but the implementation of the mega projects fell behind due to months of suspension of work. Besides the delay, the cost for security at the mega projects has also gone up, the minister said. The government downsizes the ADP by the end of every financial year though it plans to fully execute the annual plan.
