The article from bdnews24.com discusses the ongoing issues with the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) in Bangladesh, highlighting delays and cost overruns. Initially, the project, which is being built with Russian assistance, was expected to start operations by 2023, but it has faced numerous setbacks. The cost has escalated from an initial estimate of $2.4 billion to over $12.65 billion.
