News Desk | banglanews24.com
Low-quality bitumen is being imported into the country in absence of a proper monitoring system, causing a huge loss for the government.
As low-quality bitumen has been used in building and repairing roads across the country, roads get dilapidated within a short period of time.
The use of low-quality bitumen not only affects the quality and durability of the country’s road infrastructures but also cause a huge volume of government fund to go in vain.
Bangladesh is mostly dependent on imported bitumen. The country imports 80 per cent of its total bitumen demand while state-owned Eastern Refinery produces the rest 20 per cent.
