RAGE AT BANGLADESH COAL MINE SCHEME
A huge open-cast coal-mining project by a British firm, that would involve moving the homes of up to 130000 workers in Bangladesh, is at the centre of an international row. The company, GCM, plans to dig up to 570 million tonnes of coal in a project that will displace people from Phulbari, in north-west Bangladesh. A river will also have to be diverted and the mangrove forest, which is a world heritage site, would be destroyed too.
The project has attracted widespread hostility. In protests against the scheme 18 months ago, three people were killed in an area now said to be controlled by the armed forces. Many international campaign groups have written to the Asian Development Bank demanding that it turns down a $200 million loan for the project. The World Development Movement is claiming that the social and environmental damage can never be repaired if the scheme receives government approval. A spokesman for GCM, on the other hand, stressed the importance to one of the worldNs poorest countries of jobs, incomes and exports.
