Ministry of Industries compensated the tannery owners who have shifted to the Savar Tannery State with Tk 192.69 crore, reveals the report published by the ministry on the progress of projects, till October 2017.
The ministry had made cumulative expense of Tk 66418.11 lakh on the tannery state project and has achieved 62 per cent progress financially and 80 per cent of the overall development of the tannery state.
The Savar Tannery Estate relocation project began more than ten years ago in an effort to save Dhaka’s river and environment from effluent emitted from more than 200 tanneries at Hazaribagh on the bank of the Buriganga River. The authorities are lagging behind to meet the deadline which forced factories to pollute river Turag due to lack of proper infrastructure over there.

The trial run of four module of CETP is going on after competition of leakage test and permanent electrification cable trench is still under construction over there.
