The Bangladeshi Energy Minister, Mosharraf Hossain, has said the government will have to delay its decision on whether to export natural gas to India.

Mr Hossain said the two committees in charge of recommending a decision had failed to submit their report on time and had asked for another two months to complete their work.

He said the government agreed and will now announce its decision after the submission of the report.
