Today (July 5, 2009) a clash took place approximately at 11:30 a.m. when the police stopped the members of the organization named ‘Lamp Post’ from entering the Indian high commission in Gulshan region. Quite a lot of people were wounded when they clashed with the police outside the Indian high commission to protest the construction of Tipaimukh dam. Police charged with rods to scatter them. Two protesters were under arrest from the spot.
As said by Indian High Commission, “Some imaginary experts in Dhaka having no basic data were protesting against the project!! India has shared information (!), but the protestors do not have even the basic information and there is no international law or treaty to bar India from constructing the dam to produce electricity!!!!” Don’t you think it’s weird? Let us come forward and form strong movement against the dam construction otherwise Bangladesh would turn into desert.
