The all-party parliamentary committee cannot visit the Tipaimukh dam project site by July 15, as was previously scheduled, the water resources minister said on Monday.
"The committee cannot visit the site within the particular time as Awami League and Jatiya Party are set to hold national council and it did not receive any letter from the foreign ministry," Ramesh Chandra Sen told reporters at the Secretariat.
The committee was set to go to India on July 15. But he hoped that the committee would visit the site by this month.
Sen also said his ministry was yet to receive a letter from opposition chief Khaleda Zia with a list of names for an alternative team, including four experts, to visit the controversial dam site.
A three-member delegation led by BNP joint secretary general Nazrul Islam Khan, however, handed the letter to officials at the prime minister's office on June 29.
"We have not got any letter from the opposition. If we don't receive one there is no scope to send a separate delegation," said Sen.
