Bangladesh government must rethink its energy policy
Frequent outages amid heatwaves lay bare the dysfunctional state of power sector
Two workers were killed as a heavy piling pipe fell on them snapping its strings at Rampal thermal power plant in Bagerhat on Saturday night.
A high-profile Unesco delegation will visit the Sundarbans soon to assess the possible impacts of the proposed coal-based Rampal power plant on the world's largest mangrove forest.
Communist Party Bangladesh and Bangladesh Somajtantrik Dal urged the government today to stop the Rampal plant near the Sundarbans by November 30.
Prof Dwijen Sharma says the government should cancel the Rampal power plant project, assuming it would pose a permanent threat on the Sundarbans.
