Demanding the implementation of the agreement, Syeda Rizwana Hasan, executive director of the Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association (BELA), said, “When the agreement was signed, we thought the decision was the result of political wisdom. However, 25 years after the signing Even then we need permission before going there. This proves that the main objective of the agreement has not been met.”
