More power! More DEVELOPMENT!!!
(The government has decided to lay the foundation of the coal-based Rampal Thermal Power Plant in Bagherhat, near the Sundarbans, on Oct 22 despite vehement and widespread opposition by environmental activists and other social groups.
Bangladesh singed an agreement with India in January last year to set up the 1,320MW facility named ‘Bangladesh-India Friendship Power Company Limited’. The neighbouring countries will be equal partners in it. Around 1,800 acres of land has been acquired for the plant and its development is almost complete.
Environmentalists, political activists, and the local people of Bagherhat’s Rampal fear the plant will endanger the very existence of the world’s largest mangrove forest if it is constructed at Rampal, some 14 kilometres from the Sundarbans.)

Remembering Neruda
"Wakening from the dreaming forest there, the hazel-sprig
sang under my tongue, its drifting fragrance
climbed up through my conscious mind
as if suddenly the roots I had left behind
cried out to me, the land I had lost with my childhood–
and I stopped, wounded by the wandering scent."
¡Feliz cumpleaños pablo!
