Two organisations urge India<\/strong>
\nSpeakers at a discussion yesterday called upon India to immediately stop building all sorts of dams, including the controversial Tipaimukh dam, as it will adversely affect the environment, agriculture and bio-diversity of Bangladesh.
\nThey also urged the people of Bangladesh and India to raise voice against the Tipaimukh dam for the sake of their own existence.
\nHaoranchalbashi and Janaodhikar Andolan, two social organisations, arranged the discussion styled \u201cTipaimuk Dam, Killing of River and Ecological Catastrophe\u201d at Sangskriti Bikash Kendra in the capital.
\nRisi Dalai, editor of the magazine Charbak, said the Farakka Barrage experience was not good for Bangladesh. \u201cSo our statement is clear: stop construction of all sorts of dams,\u201d he added.
\nWhen the developed countries are destroying their dams admitting its adverse impact on environment, the third world countries are going for it. This cannot be acceptable, said Risi Dalai.
\nHasnat Quaiyum, a Supreme Court lawyer, said people of Bangladesh and India would be affected once the Tipaimukh dam is constructed. \u201cHence we must jointly wage a movement against it.\u201d
\nM Inamul Haque, former director general of Bangladesh Haor and Wetland Development Board, said people needed to be made aware of the adverse impact of the Tipaimukh dam.<\/p>\n
