As the industries ministry has decided to open offices of Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) in every district, Industries Secretary Mohammad Abdullah asked the officials concerned to send a standard setup of workforce to the ministry by February, reports BSS.
"BSTI will have to set up its office in every district to ensure standard products and services for the people," he told a review meeting on the progress of the Annual Development Programme (ADP) under the ministry for the current fiscal year (FY18) in Dhaka on Tuesday.
Under the industries ministry, there are 43 development projects involving Tk 13.76 billion.
Of the total cost, Tk 13.20 billion will be provided by the government, Tk 64 million will come as project assistance and Tk 500 million from the organisation's own fund.
The industries secretary asked the project directors to be more active to ensure timely implementation of their projects and suggested holding meeting of the steering committee frequently to resolve project-related problems for quick implementation.
He also warned that punitive steps will be taken against the officials concerned if implementation of the projects is delayed because of their negligence.
