These days the environment is a great global concern.
After the industrial revolution, the environment of the world is changing very rapidly. Industrialised countries emit polluted substances into the atmosphere, but it is the poor countries which are in danger of being polluted. Bangladesh is one of these countries. The environment of Bangladesh is threatened in many ways.
It is ominous news for us that India is going to construct another dam on the Barak river. If they do so Bangladesh will face a serious environmental disaster in future. The Surma and Kushiara rivers will dry up. Agricultural production will decrease greatly. And the poor people of our country will become poorer. In the greater Sylhet region salinity will increase in the soil and the desertification process will start immediately.
We have to show our concern and make the Indian government understand that “Tipaimukh dam” will be a big hazard for us.
