According to the project proposal, the unplanned tanneries were so long in the densely populated Hazaribagh area of Dhaka. There was no system of scientific management of waste in the area. As a result, public life was severely disastrous. So, in December 2005, the project was approved by ECNEC for the transfer of factories in December 2005 at the cost of 175 crore 75 lakhs. Hazaribagh's 154 factories got land allotted in this city. Even after giving guidance from the High Court, the industrial town is still not ready. The number of industrial units allotted by 205 plots on about 200 acres of land is 155.
After one year of approval, the expansion of the project was extended by one year to December 2006. After six months it was extended again. With no foreign assistance during the project, expenditure of Tk 545.36 crore has been increased to three and a half years till June 2010. After that, new organs are added to the project. Project CETP, dumping yard, water extraction, refining and supply system could not be completed by June 2010. As a result, according to the proposal given to the Planning Commission, the expiration was again extended to two years. After 10 years, the cost of the project was increased to Taka 1,787.17 million. Even after a year the extension was extended twice, which ended in June last year. But the project was not completed after two years was extended again.
