State minister for housing and public works Sharif Ahmed inaugurated the two-day long PWD (public works department) Annual Conference 2020 at Purta Bhaban in Dhaka city's Segunbagicha on Sunday.

In his inaugural speech, he praised the development driven by engineers working for the country, according to a press release received on Monday.

Housing and public works ministry secretary Md Shahid Ullah Khandaker requested stricter monitoring by all field engineers at their respective worksites.

One of the highlights of the day was a technical knowledge sharing session jointly hosted by Aqua Paints and Elite Steel, two concerns of Elite Group.
