High-risk-prone Rooppur Power Plant

High-risk-prone Rooppur Power Plant

Nur Jahan, Chittagong

The letter “Heading towards nuclear tragedy” written by Engr. S. A. Mansoor, published in The Daily Star on December 5, 2014 jolted me to the core because from it I learned that the manufacturing work of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant has started in Russia and the news was published in different newspapers on December 3, 2014 which I somehow failed to read.
From the very beginning, conscious citizens and experts were protesting vehemently; I have lost count of how many articles and letters I have read in which the hazards of a nuclear power plant have been explained clearly. I also wrote quite a number of letters urging the government not to go ahead with the plan but it seems all fell on deaf ears.
Now time has come for the people to rise up and compel the government to stop the work of the nuclear power plant because it is predictable that radiation disaster will happen and we will be doomed; destructions will follow us forever.
