The housing and public works ministry sent a letter to the PWD on Oct 9 asking it to take legal measures to complete the projects awarded to Shamim’s firm. Shamim's firm GKB has its hands on 53 construction projects of the public works ministry with a total allocation of around Tk 5.5 billion. Eight projects were greenlighted by the chief engineer of the Public Works Department and three by the additional chief engineer. PWD Chief Engineer Shahadat Hossain said projects have been delayed for different reasons. GKB Chief Engineer and former PWD additional chief engineer Md Golam Mustafa declined comment on the issue.
