Save Sundarban

To save Sundarban - the largest mangrove forest of the world and home of the Royal Bengal Tigers.The Bangladesh government fixed the project area without any economical benefit, technical feasibility, and social and environmental impact study. Later, an eyewash study in the name of initial environmental examination was done by the Centre for Environmental and Geographical Information Services, to get environmental clearance. And recently Department of Environment has issued environmental clearance for the project on Bangladesh soil, apparently in India’s interest. Impacts at the construction phase will include visual intrusion, local air pollution due to generation of dust particles and emissions from engine vehicles, noise from machinery and engine vehicles, and deterioration of groundwater quality causing groundwater draw-downing, including excess mining of the groundwater may drawdown the groundwater level, too.
