“Govt goes ahead, greens worried,” published on September 15, 2013 Raihan Al-Beruni Please do not mix politics with environment and economy. The only thing that matters to me is economic growth. The power plant will feed the economy. Dewan Afzal The decision to build coal-powered power plant so close to the Sundarbans is really very imprudent. Reza Khan If Awami League government goes ahead with the Rampal Project at the current location, which means within 9 to 12 km of the Sundarbans, it will lay the foundation stone for destroying the Sundarbans. Snr Citizen Very sad that the vital issue of environmental effect has been ignored. With such high density of population in BD, we must be extra cautious in these aspects. The plant may not give desired results but rather create ecological problems.
