Long March to Save Sundarbans

by | 30-09-2013 18:26 recommendations 0

I reported that the Sundarbans is now at danger earlier in my first ambassador report. Govt of Bangladesh decided to build power plant near Sundarbans (the largest mangrove forest in the world) at Rampal. You can read the report by clicking here

The National Committee to Protect Oil, Gas, Mineral Resources, Power and Ports organised a long march from 24-28th September 2013. Hundreds joined this long march to save Sundarbans. "The proposed coal fired power plant will surely affect the ecosystem, environment and the climate of the Sundarbans.", said a participant of the long march Mr. Abdullah Al Kafi.

The route activists marched towards the plant site:

Some Illustrations of the event are give below where people are demanding the cancellation of Rampal Power Plant.

    People love nature all the time, but what we see the corporate giants and some other evil businessmen let our green world be faded.

    Oh, I can understand its seriousness from the pictures. Thank you for sharing!
    I do wish the people can protect the region from the solely economic focused business.
