Save tiger, scrap plan for power plant

While addressing the inaugural ceremony of the three-day 2nd Global Tiger Stocktaking Conference 2014, held at Sonargaon Hotel on September 13, PM Sheikh Hasina urged the world leaders to save tigers in order to save nature. She rightly said that tigers save the Sundarbans and the Sundarbans save Bangladesh.

But it is her government that is going to build Rampal Power Plant near the Sundarbans. If this government cares so much about Sundarbans, they should not build this coal-based thermal power plant near Sundarbans.
