Letters To The Editor

Disillusioned by state's indifference

When someone feigns to be asleep, it impossible to wake that person up; that is what exactly is happening with those who are in power. They must be fully aware of the hazards of nuclear power plants as experts and conscious citizens are urging the government to abandon the plan and save the country. If an accident happens in the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant the consequences will be unimaginable. The building of the plant must be stopped.

The government is also planning to set up a coal fired power plant at Rampal which will destroy our heritage the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest. The plant will cause grave damage to the forest's ecosystem and wildlife. 

Therefore the ruling party must pay attention to these serious issues, not only of how to remain in control.
