It all seems too fishy to me. Didn't the idea of maintaining confidentiality and better security regarding such a sensitive issue cross anyone's mind?

The mastermind behind the leakage should be arrested before he leaves the country.

What a story! A novelist could have helped the police or investigation team to come up with a better story than this...

Can it get any more theatrical? Now the blame goes to the cleaner. Apparently he has computer literacy. On top of that, police commissioner (Monirul) said Nayon often used computers in tribunal offices. If a cleaner can often use computers in highly sensitive premises, why do we even bother investigating who leaked the verdict?

It reflects the state of total callousness that pervades the entire administration in this country. It is also a glaring testimony to the fact that the high-ups in this country are always protected using the underdogs as their shield.

Incompetence in such a sensitive case is proving that there is flaw in the system.

“Rampal gets rolling” (October 6, 2013)
Abbasuddin
India will drain out more than 2000 crore taka each year from Bangladesh with a target of 75000 crore taka within next 35 years by 500 MW supply. It appears there is no engineer or economist in Bangladesh to calculate this loss.

I find it staggering how so many people in leadership positions can give the go-ahead to a project like this. This is not the right step. If the Sundarbans is harmed in any way, the people of Bangladesh will not forgive the AL. Who do they think we are? Children? That we will believe anything that comes out of their mouths?

Showing least care for environment but asking for money for environmental disaster mitigation from UN is a double standard.

No power plant is possible with zero disturbances to environment and ecological balance. That can't be the reason for abandoning such projects altogether. The objections against the Rampal project are driven more by politics than by environment concern.

What an irony! The PM of India visited Bangladesh sometime back to sign the long overdue Teesta treaty that at the last moment he did not sign -- the excuse being West Bengal's CM Mamata's objection. However, there was no such problem with regard to Rampal project inside Bangladesh as far as India was concerned and Mr. Singh smilingly inaugurated the project along with equally smiling PM of Bangladesh -- despite vehement protests from green groups. It was a business proposition that would benefit India much more than Bangladesh and also spell disaster for the Sundarbans.
