Dhaka: After the US court took action against Gautam Adani, many countries of the world have started canceling or reviewing the projects related to his company. Recently, Kenya had announced the cancellation of a project related to Adani. After this, now Bangladesh has also made a big announcement regarding a project related to Adani.
