Will scrap Adani power deal if graft is proved: Bangladesh

DHAKA: Bangladesh will not hesitate to cancel a 2017 power contract with India’s Adani group if any irregularities or corruption are proven, said the Muhammad Yunus-led interim government, referring to an interim report that claimed “massive governance failure” and “massive corruption” across the energy sector.

The report was submitted by the national review committee, established to review power sector contracts signed during the Sheikh Hasina governmet. Its chief, retired HC judge Moinul Islam Chowdhury, said Sunday “we found massive corruption, collusion, fraud, irregularities and illegalities”.
