BSD long march reaches Rangpur
Our Correspondent, Rangpur
The long march organised by Bangladesher Samajtantrik Dal (BSD) to protest India's river inter-linking project reached Rangpur yesterday on its way to Kurigram. The march started on February 25 from Muktangan in Dhaka. The marchers yesterday held a rally at Rangpur Public Library Ground with BSD Rangpur Co-ordinator Abdul Quddus in the chair. Speakers at the rally said all the rivers in Bangladesh will dry up and the ecology will be destroyed if India implements its project. This will also start a desertification process in the country, he said. The long march will leave Rangpur this morning for Kurigram, where it will terminate with holding of a grand rally.
