Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has asked the authorities concerned to lay utmost emphasis on protection of the environment during adaptation and implementation of any development project.

The premier passed the directives while witnessing architectural designs of different development projects at her official residence Ganabhaban, said a press release of the Prime Minister's Press Wing.
She also directed the authorities concerned to keep vigilance so that no industrial establishment is constructed here and there.
