Unfortunately, Major source of water in The construction of Yarlung Tsangpo Hydroelectric and Water Diversion Project may start this year. It is feared that there will be displacement of local populations, destruction of ecosystems, and an impact for downstream people in The translation of the name Tsangpo (river) is purifier, however, if Yarlung Tsangpo Hydroelectric and Water Diversion Project takes off then the river will become killer instead purifier for In recent days when we are worried about the negative impact of Indian Tipaimukh dam in Manipur to generate 1500 MW electricity, Chinese Yarlung Tsangpo Hydroelectric and Water Diversion Project (40 thousand MW) came as a shock. Bangladesh must act now to protest Indian and Chinese unilateral decision defying all international rules and norms to build dam which will bring humanitarian and ecological disaster not just for Bangladesh but for the entire continent . We urge Awami League government to form all party parliamentarian and technical expert probe body to comprehensibly investigate these disaster projects of India and China, which will peril our life and imbalance our ecological system. We must log our protest to Indian and Chinese authority as soon as possible before these killer dam takes permanent shape. Sincerely Shamim Chowdhury |
