A Green Scandal

Picture
Towards the end of BNP rule a mysterious project was launched by the parliamentary secretariat to replace the grass on the southeastern open space of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban. The project involving crores of taka was suspended and an investigation was started as to how such a project could be initiated without even the knowledge of the higher authorities. Now a stretch of the southeastern plaza lawn bears the testimony. Uprooted grass piled together now forms small mounds on the rare green space. The authorities never made public the report of the inquiry. PHOTO: STAR
