Bangladesh and India jointly have a project to build a thermal power plant in Bangladesh and the Rampal thermal power project will be located very close to the Sundarbans. The biggest concern is that the Rampal power plant is close to the Sundarbans, so its construction is expected to have an adverse effect on the Sundarbans. It is natural that if any project is done in or near the forest, it will adversely affect the forest and climate change will take place in that place, as well as the forest and the environment may be destroyed.
The biggest concern is that the Rampal power plant will be a thermal power plant and coal will be used as fuel. Since coal is being used as fuel, much more waste will be discharged from this thermal power plant. Much more toxic gas will be emitted, the air will be polluted, the soil will be polluted. And can destroy the environment. Since the Rampal Thermal Power Station is being built near the Sundarbans and the Sundarbans in the Sundarbans is the single largest mangrove forest in the world. Therefore, it can have an adverse effect on Bangladesh and the global climate. Another bad thing is that the coal used as fuel for the Rampal thermal power plant will be imported and is to be imported from India. And the expert team has doubts about the quality of that coal. The main reason for their worries is that more waste is extracted from low quality coal and less energy is available.
It must be admitted that the government is constructing this power plant considering the interest of the people and for the whole people. However, the environmental aspect must be taken into account. Power plants should be built in a place that will reduce the damage to the environment and the people will benefit from it. For that, the government should protect the Sundarbans and the environment by constructing power plants in alternative places and alternative systems. And the government's expert team is doing a lot of analysis on this issue.
