Sami,

35 BDR deaths in 5 months. For all 3000 arrested to die at this rate,
it will take almost 36 years before you can finally say there is none to
stand as worthy witness. Which one expected? AL in power for next 36
years? If they lose power before that, rest assured the OTHER party
will find enough Jozz Miah, Partha Shoibal Saha, Mukhlesur Rahman to

[ALOCHONA] Indian co-op sought for rail link between Dhaka and Kathmandu



Indian co-op sought for rail link between Dhaka and Kathmandu
HT Imam meets Mamata

 

Dhaka has sought cooperation from New Delhi to introduce rail service between Bangladesh and Nepal, and resumption of train communication between Dhaka and Shiliguri of India, communications ministry officials said.
   HT Imam, adviser to prime minister Sheikh Hasina, discussed the issues with Indian railway minister Mamata Banerjee in the first week of July.
   They agreed that the two next-door neighbours need to expedite the process of increasing connectivity in the region, officials said.
   At present, there is no rail network between Dhaka and Katmandu while the Dhaka-Shiliguri rail service has been remained snapped since 1965 after a war between India and Pakistan.
   Imam, who visited India following a special directive from the prime minister, also asked the communications ministry to start work on the issues on a priority basis as the government initiated a programme to reform the country's railway.
   The country has already received a loan of $500 million from Asian Development Bank for implementing the railway reform programme. The Manila-based lending agency has been campaigning for a greater connectivity in South Asia through roads and railways.
   Communications minister Syed Abul Hossain told New Age that the government has been pursuing a policy to enhance connectivity for facilitating greater trade and economic activities in the region.
   'The ministry will do everything to carry forward the policy stance,' he said.
   Dhaka's fresh initiative for rail link with Katmandu came at a time when Bangladesh's roadway trade with Nepal through Indian territories faces hurdles from Indian customs at Banglabandha land port.
   Bangladesh's proposal for making Mongla Port a hub for serving landlocked Nepal and Bhutan has not yet received any response from India.
   The communications minister, however, said someone has to come forward and take the initiative. 'Otherwise, the barriers won't be removed,' he said.
   He pointed out that the resumption of Dhaka-Shiliguri rail service is essential and will be lucrative for trade activities. The resumption of the rail link will further strengthen communication between Bangladesh and India after the introduction of Dhaka-Kolkata direct train service.
   HT Imam sought 100 broad-gauge coaches and 10 diesel-run locomotives from India which has one of the world's extensive rail networks, communications ministry officials said.
   The coaches will be built at the Saidpur railway workshop in Bangladesh with technical and manpower supports from the Indian railway, they informed.
   The PM's adviser also sought financial assistance from India to build railroad between Chittagong and Cox's Bazar.
   India earlier proposed a railway link between Agartala of its Tripura state and Chittagong via Akhaura mainly to give its northeast states an access to sea. The proposal was also raised at the SAARC transport ministers' meeting in Colombo on July 25, where Bangladesh said it needs to study the proposal which would require upgrading of the railway's eastern zone to broad-gauge.
   At the meeting, India also mooted an idea of running a trial train between Lahore and Katmandu through Bangladesh's territories.

UNNATURAL DEATHS OF BDR JAWANS
Probe body misses 3rd deadline

Courtesy New Age 4/8/09


Mustafizur Rahman

The investigation committee failed to make any headway in probing the deaths of BDR soldiers in custody even in the last two months and a half as such death toll soared to 35 until Sunday, officials said.
   The government has given the probe body one more month to complete the investigation into 'unnatural deaths' of Bangladesh Rifles soldiers in custody in the aftermath of the February 25-26 bloody rebellion at the BDR headquarters.
   The home ministry's committee, formed on May 14, had missed the deadline for the third time, said an official concerned.
    As the last deadline for submitting probe report expired on July 26, the government on July 29 gave it one-month time further to facilitate 'better investigation into the incidents.'
   'The committee asked for more time to properly investigate the incidents of unnatural deaths…We have allowed one month more so that the body can complete the task in a better manner,' home secretary Abdus Sobhan Sikder told New Age on Monday.
   The government initiated the executive inquiry into unnatural deaths of the paramilitary force members, who were taken into custody on suspicion of their involvement with the mutiny, in the wake of pressures from local and international rights groups.
   At least 35 BDR soldiers died in custody in Dhaka and elsewhere after the rebellion that killed 75 persons, including 57 army officers deputed to the border force.
   The police so far arrested more than 3,000 BDR soldiers at places across the country in connection with the worst rebellion in BDR that stunned the nation and put the two-month old government in troubles.
   Of the arrested, seven reportedly committed suicide, eight died of 'heart attack' and the other 20 deaths were caused by various diseases, according to the BDR authorities.
   'The deputy secretary-led committee is too weak to carry out such a sensitive task,' said a senior official at the home ministry.
   In late June, the committee was given a month's extension for completing the inquiry into the incidents after it missed the second deadline.
   The committee formed with representatives from BDR and police was supposed to submit report in 15 days to June 4.
   But it could not even start the work in the given time as deputy secretary (law) Zakir Hassain initially declined to head the four-member body.
   It was given 15 more days.
   The committee is supposed to identify the reasons behind the unnatural deaths of border guards and recommend steps to prevent such custodial deaths.

Mr. Enayet Ullah,

Aren't you a little hypocritical here? Tipai Mukh is not a new issue.
It has been there for a while. But you sat idle when BNP-Jamaat and the

This could be said for both the major political parties of Bangladesh .
Having said this however, Shamim Chowdhury's argument below to blame BNP
than India for the Tipaimukh dam is preposterous. It is done either from
his ignorance or at best from his political mindset. He says:

in the Farakka dam project that India does these projects through
extreme secrecy. Farakka was completed during the liberation

Government has rightly decided to form two-examination committee. Out of

project.

month and half we have seen numerous seminar symposium making attempt to
create awareness among common people as well as government.

bilateral talks with Indian counter part on Tipaimukh project.
Government has rightly decided to form two-examination committee. Out of
this two committee, one will comprise all party parliamentarians and the
other will include technical experts. Both committees will visit
proposed Tipaimukh Hydro Eclectic project as fact finding mission, from
there report Bangladesh will make its case on how to place Bangladesh
interest on Indian unilateral decision on Tipaimukh hydro electric
project.

political reason against Tipaimukh project, the project that they gave
secret green signal to Indian authority in 2003 selling the interest of
Bangladesh for mere political gain.

India on 26 to 28 May of 1992 to talk to her counter part P.V. Noroshima
Rao then Indian Prime Minister. During this trip she forgot to raise the

After coming back from the tour India , facing criticism from press then
Prime Minister Khaleda Zia acknowledged that she forgot to raise the
question with her Indian apart.

Khaleda Zia can forget to raise a life and death question with Indian
authority. Interestingly while Khaleda Zia forgot to raise the Farakka
issue she signed a treaty with Indian government on June 26 1992 on
Tinbigha corridor for 999 years lease. We know among many other problems
Tinbigha is one of the thorns between India-Bangladesh relations,
Khaleda getting a chance to be in power for three times could not
resolve it.

Multipurpose project before interest of Bangladesh is dashed out one
more time. We must stand as a nation and not allow India to erect
anything, which will be against the interest of Bangladesh . However, to
do that we must first learn about all if and but about Tipaimukh
project. I hope Khaleda Zia will disclose all facts about Tipaimukh
projects and her government's actions and deeds with Indian government
during her last stay in government 2001-2006. Nation need to know if
there was any secret deal with Khaleda-Nizami, alliance government in
2003 before Indian government gave the final authorization on this
project and formed The North Eastern Electric Power Corporation
(neepco).

[mukto-mona] FW: JRC meet on Tipai issue : Former Water Resource Minister's Demand--editorial Asia Post 4th August



 

 

JRC meet on Tipai issue : Former Water Resource Minister’s Demand
 

BNP vice-chairman M Hafiz Uddin Ahmed, also a former water resources minister, on Sunday asked the government to take initiatives for a meeting of the Joint Rivers Commission on Tipaimukh issue as the parliamentary delegation was returning empty-handed.‘The parliamentary delegation having no technical experts went to India and the delegation members are returning without visiting the site of the proposed dam at Tipaimukh. So the government should take initiatives to hold a meeting of the Joint Rivers Commission and place people’s demands there as it is the only forum which included experts of both the countries,’ he told television channels at his house at Banani. Hafiz said in the past two meetings of the commission, in New Delhi and Dhaka, when he was in office, Bangladesh had raised objections to the Tipaimukh project. ‘It was the Awami League government which in the first commission meeting in 1972 gave consent to such a project. Now the Awami League is passing the blame on the BNP.’ Hafiz said the parliamentary team could go to Tipaimukh by road and it had decided to go to the site in a helicopter to avoid protests by the people of Manipur. ‘The team members could have waited for a few more days and visit the site. I do not understand why they are returning empty handed.  He alleged Bangladesh had been asking for data and information on the Tipaimukh project for three decades, but India was yet to respond to the call.

 

We generally agree with the view of the former Water Resources minister that meeting of the Joint Rivers Commission should be held. This has become a major problem between India and Bangladesh and this deserves early solution.As of now it appears that it wil affect Bangladesh in every possible way including environment, water management, salinity , fisheries, siltation , alluvial soil, irrigation, rivers and so on.We also ask the Indian government to provide Bangladesh with all data.

[ALOCHONA] Re: A news item on BDR massacre

Dear Farida

They may well have been Islamist terrorists. Though the methodology, complete success and bestiality of these criminals is too different from what we know of Islamic terrorism today.

Unless of course this is some kind of monster that rears its ugly head in Bangladesh once every 40 years.

For the common man what they have seen on the national stage is only the thamasha of people on whom all their hopes depend - be they politicans, military men or others.

This is Bangladesh. Our politicians were neither too shocked nor too upset by the events of 25/2/09.

The government has failed to provide any evidence of its seriousness in getting to the bottom of what happened and who did it. The government has not accounted for its actions on the day. The only tangibles we have are the facts of army officers being transferred and BDR soldiers being killed.

Have I missed anything?

The common man doesn't need anymore NGOs and good people standing with them. He needs justice from the law, accountability from politcians, truthfulness from the learned and serenity from maulanas.

In Bangladesh the common man gets nothing except Allah's rains.

As the details of the unspeakable cruelties were revealed, and people watched the news coverage on their TV intently, it felt like a revisitation of the atrocities of 1971.

The machine-gun-toting Hollywood-Cowboy like killers did not look very BAKSHALite to most people perhaps because they could not read the sophisticated analysis of the India-doctrinewalla on Alochona forum. People simply suspected a jongi connection. They had seen -- nay, they had SUFFERED in the hands of these cruel Islamists many times before.
