Formulate law to stop mineral resources export

The government should pass specific law that will impose embargo on exporting mineral resources from the country, speakers of Dhaka-Fulbari long-march urged yesterday.
The country has not enough reserve of mineral resources including gas and coal for next 50 years. So there should be a law to ban exports of mineral resources, they said.
National Committee for Protection of Oil, Gas, Mineral Resources, Power and Port as part of its long-march organised a rally at Tangail Shaheed Minar, where speakers made the urge.
The long-march to press a 7-point demand to resolve energy crisis started on Sunday from Dhaka and will end at Fulbari on Saturday, said a press release.
They also reiterated their demands for implementation of Fulbari treaty immediately.
Committee Convener Engr Sheikh Mohammad Shahidullah, Member Secretary Anu Mohammad, Manjurul Ahsan Khan, Bimol Biswas, Khalekuzzaman, Ruhin Hossain Prince, among others, attended the rally.
Street rallies at different points including Konabari, Chandra, Alenga and Sirajganj were held during the long-march yesterday.
Our Correspondent from Tangail adds: Leaders of the committee alleged that conspiracy to handover country's national resources to the “imperialists” (foreigners) is going on.
They said the mass people of the country would have to resist it by their united movement.
