Explore alternative energy sources

M.A. Kashem, Mohammadpur, Dhaka
Recently the government signed a deal with the Russian government to set up a nuclear power plant at Rooppur. Power generation is essential but people's safety should be given the highest priority. Many technologically advanced counties are considering closing down their nuclear plants. Bangladesh is not a technologically advanced country. In case of any accident, the consequence will be severe. The world is heading towards alternative energy sources like solar power and biogas. I would like to request the government to consider alternative energy sources instead of nuclear power.
