ROOPPUR NUCLEAR POWER PROJECT WILL BE RESUMED
Dr Mafiz Chowdhury, minister for science and technology, informs today that the government is planning to resume the long-awaited Rooppur Nuclear Power project. The project had been adopted in 1961, for which 260 acres of land were acquired in 1963. However, the project could not make much headway since then.
The minister further says that the government is preparing a power development plan with an aim to reach power to every household. He seeks active support from the scientists and engineers in this regard.
SUGAR SHORTAGE CONTINUES
There has been an acute shortage of sugar in the capital for the last few weeks. It is reported that there is a good reserve of sugar in the mills in North Bengal. Due to the unavailability of transport and poor communication system these reserves cannot be supplied to sugar-scarce areas.
