That design for 142 floors was too pie-in-the sky it seems...

The guy who floated and proposed that idea (Hindu expat doctor from LA) was a complete fraud. He did not win the contract.

Work has started with a different contractor Powerpac (they are in the heavy electrical items manufacturing mainly) with a Japanese JV partner (Kajima) and latest news says the new design is around 80 floors I believe. I am not holding out high hopes....will believe it when I see them actually building a foundation.

The guy had a Muslim name and is from syhlet.

The guy's name is Kali Pradip Chowdhuri and he is a low class fraud and cheat. He has floated tons of propaganda websites claiming fraudulent things. Sometimes his claimed achievements are borderline hilarious like being born in a Sylheti Zeminder family etc.

He hangs out with Indians who are easily impressed by his spendy dinners. Local Bangladeshis all know what a fraud he is, just google him.

Sylhet becomes country’s first city to get rid of overhead wires

The implementation puts an end to conventional street electric poles

Sylhet City Corporation (SCC) has introduced an electric power transmission and distribution network, putting an end to conventional wired over-the-top electric poles.

This is the first time in the country’s history a city has successfully gotten rid of the conventional street wired electricity poles.

The full-fledged operation of the installation of underground lines and the removal of the overhead wires took place on the first month of this year.

The first phase of the system was implemented at the Shahjalal (R) Shrine area of the SCC ward 1 where all the wired electric poles were removed along with other service oriented wires.

SCC Mayor Ariful Haq Chowdhury said: “What started as a test run project has made way for Sylhet city to get rid of all kinds of overhead wires including electric lines, making it the first city in the country to look like a foreign city.”

“Initially, all the places from the Shrine area to the court point will soon be free of wires. Eventually, the whole city corporation will come under this project,” he said.

SCC Chief Engineer Md Noor Azizur Rahman said: “It was a big challenge to implement the underground electricity system, which the city corporation along with the power division was successful in doing so.”

“Both SCC and the power division will work around the clock to provide uninterruptible power supply and keep the streets of the city wire-free,” he added.
