Long march towards Dumboor Dam in Tripura tomorrow

Inqilab Mancha, a cultural platform mainly based on Dhaka University (DU), will hold a long march to Dumboor Dam in Tripura, India tomorrow (Friday) in protest against the illegal and unilateral dams constructed by India on Bangladesh's cross-border rivers.

The student platform chalked out its roadmap to successfully hold the long march at a press conference at Madhur Canteen on DU campus at 4:00pm.

The march will begin from the Shahbagh Intersection at 9:00am.

Participants will start their march by trucks and other private vehicles at 9:00am from the Shahbagh Intersection and will stop at different points so that people can join them.

They will stop at Jatrabari Crossroads at 10:00am, Chandina, Cumilla after Jum'a prayer and Cumilla Town Hall at 4:00pm.

From Cumilla Town Hall, they will march towards the Dumboor Dam in Tripura on foot, said spokesman of the Inqilab Mancha. 

Paying deep respect to the martyrs during the July Revolution, Spokesman Sharif Osman Hadi said, "Through this long march, we want to protest water terrorism of India."

Hadi said, "India can always open the dams if there were possibilities of flood in their country. But this should be done by warning the neighbouring countries before."

Earlier on August 30, the Inqilab Mancha held a symbolic dam destruction at the base of Raju Sculpture on DU campus in protest against the one sided and illegal dams constructed by India on cross-border rivers with Bangladesh.

Hadi said the floods in Feni, Cumilla and Lakshmipur was not natural disaster, rather it was a 'political flood'.

The Inqilab Mancha demanded immediate implementation of the Teesta Treaty, signing into the United Nations Convention on International Watercourses 1997, publication of new list of cross-border rivers with Bangladesh and eradicate all illegal dams constructed by India on cross-border rivers with Bangladesh.
