"The Bangladesh Steel and Engineering Corporation wants to implement the Tongi chemical warehouse project under the direct procurement method to avoid a tender process. It believes that any tender process may delay the project, the minister said.

After the implementation of the chemical warehouse project, a total of 53 chemicals warehouse will be available to store liquid, solid, flammable, inflammable, explosive chemical items and liquefied gas.

The project will feature 3 buildings and other necessary equipment. The project is scheduled to conclude by December, 2020.
