Green belt, bird sanctuary to be created around Rampal power plant

The Bangladesh-India Friendship Power Company Ltd (BIFPCL) has taken the initiative to create a green belt and bird sanctuary by planting trees in the coal-fired Rampal Thermal Power Plant area in Bagerhat.
"A total of 5,00,000 trees will be planted in phases around the plant to create a green belt. Of these, 87,000 trees have already been planted. Another 1,13,000 will be planted during the current monsoon season. Later, the remaining trees will be planted in coordination with the Forest Department," BIFPCL General Manager Debashish Saha said at a second phase of tree plantation programme at the power plant premises today (6 July).
