RE: Economic REALITY & Escalating Crisis Are Real Ponters to Decision - ALL Point to Only 1 Option - GCM GO AHEAD!16 May 2024 07:37
It is evident from the situation that one of the objectives of the secretary's visit was to stop Bangladesh from the Chinese project on Teesta. In fact, during the visit, the Indian Secretary proposed financing the Teesta project by India. This can be called a proposal to 'exclude China and implement the Chinese plan'.
A plan made by 'Power-China' on Teesta was heard since 2016. Before Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Dhaka that year, 'Power-China' formulated a project called 'Sustainable River Management Programme', including all major rivers of Bangladesh.
The program was initially supposed to focus on the Yamuna River. But later on the request of Bangladesh Water Development Board also included Teesta river in it. In continuation of this, "Power-China" formulated the "Tista River Comprehensive Management and Restoration Project" with a budget of about one billion dollars.
From the very beginning, it appears that the Bangladesh government has adopted a strict 'policy of confidentiality' regarding this project. As the representative of the people, the government takes the loan for such projects and somehow the people have to repay this loan. So why can't people know about this project and express their opinions,
The matter is even more ironic because 'Power-China' has made videos about the project and is promoting it globally through YouTube. As a result, the people of Bangladesh are getting to know about a project of their own country from foreign companies instead of from their own government.
However, investigative journalists in Bangladesh managed to gather some information about the project, such as the project's Preliminary Development Project Proposal (PDPP). We now have a rough idea of the project in the light of information from other sources including the initial development project proposal and the 'Power-China' video.
