Marking the Sundarbans Day, environmental organizations under the banner of The National Committee for Saving the Sundarbans today urged the government to abort projects that harm the largest mangrove forest in the world.
Activists of various organizations formed a human chain in front of the National Museum in Dhaka’s Shahbagh area around 11:00am.
“That Rampal Power Plant project will harm Sundarbans has been proven by scientific tests. The government has challenged this and we have accepted. But the government has moved away from this challenge and is now going ahead with Rampal project silently,” noted economist MM Akash said in the programme.
