Angikar Bangladesh Foundation Day of Action events are successful!

The Teesta Youth Parliament asked participants to raise their voices in protest of the continuing dam projects in the Teesta Basin at an event held on March 28th at the National Press Club in Dhaka. Supporters of their cause were asked to send letters of solidarity to the Youth Parliament at angikarbd@yahoo.com. Two days later, a press meeting organized by Angikar Bangladesh was held. On the 31st, a group of valiant inhabitants of the Surma valley led an expedition of protest for four hours against the infamous Tipaimukh Dam project. The river march started in Sunamganj at noon and concluded at the historic Keane's Ghat at 4 PM. At this point, political and social leaders greeted the crowd, and urged Indian authorities to immediately desist from carrying ahead with the controversial Tipaimukh Dam project.
