Sherpur added to Netrokona rural infrastructure project, cost rising by nearly Tk 1,200 crore

Although the project’s physical progress was only 42.09 percent as of August 2026, the Planning Commission has raised questions about expanding the scope of work and adding a new district at this stage. The proposed amendment states that targets for road construction, bridges and culverts, and drains are to be doubled or more. The Planning Commission has suggested reviewing the amendment proposal subject to providing separate lists of completed, ongoing and new works, following government procurement rules, and not duplicating work with other projects.
