Gas import
The recent initiative of Bangladesh to import gas from Myanmar has not been materialized due to the latter's negative attitude. Actually, China and India contacted Myanmar for importing gas long before Bangladesh's initiative. At present Bangladesh is thinking about importing gas but during the past BNP and AL regimes our politicians spoke of the benefits of exporting gas, obviously as per foreign prescription. Had we exported gas at that time, we would have faced acute shortage of it by this time.
Gas is a natural resource and a gift to us from Allah. We should not waste it any way. Due to the fault of a foreign company, a huge amount of gas burnt out some months ago in Sylhet region--we only watched it on television. This kind of negligence is highly regrettable.
