Govt won’t spare corrupt elements: Rezaul
DHAKA, Oct 30, 2019 (BSS)- Housing and Public Works Minister S M Rezaul Karim today said the government won’t spare anyone involved in corrupt practices as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has adopted a ‘zero tolerance’ policy against corruption.

He stressed the need for sustainable development in the country and said a master plan is being made in this regard. He also said anything unplanned would not be allowed even in private lands to ensure maximum utilization of land in a planned way.
