RE: Coal-based mega plants ease load-shedding29 Apr 2024 10:00
That is why i became cynical / sceptical for many years recalibrate.
From my opinion Hasina was never going to give the goahead as she gave a pre election promise not to mine Phulbari back when she was first elected. Although, the noise coming out did suggest she was going to break that promise. Hence this article.
As we know, she didn’t break that promise.
However, i have felt for the past year that this term would be her last in office so what has she got to lose now. Add to that this elections manifesto promise of mining their own coal. The dire straits they are in financially & energy production wise.
Plus all the positive statements coming out, the ease of raising funds still.
It all points to an imminent goahead to me
