Fenchuganj power plant


The news item published in The Daily Star on August 9, 2004, under the heading "Fenchuganj Power Plant, Canadian Senator censures government move for re-tender" attracted my attention and the contents made me unhappy and muse about our government's lack of prudence.

The government's decision to invite fresh tenders for the Fenchuganj power plant ignoring a Canadian company's offer is an unwise move. It is unthinkable displeasing the Canadian Senator, who had lobbied for removal of quotas and tariff on Bangladeshi exports to Canada.
