Bibiyana power plant: Only two int'l cos may submit final bid

UNB, Dhaka

Only two international bidders are likely to submit their final bids for the proposed 450MW Bibiyana Power Plant, a priority project of the government, Tuesday (July 15).

Power Cell, a reform implementation wing of Power Ministry, invited the international tender setting the July-15 deadline for the bidders to submit their respective financial and technical offers to set up the plant.

Primarily, four bidders-US-based AES Corporation and Chevron, Malaysia-based Powertek Barhad and South Korea-based Kepco were selected under the prequalification (PQ) process for the project, according to official sources.

But Kepco later pulled itself out of the bidding race and joined hand with Powertek under a joint-venture initiative.

Sources said AES Corporation verbally communicated the Power Cell that it has lost its interest to submit the final bid for the project because of some "unfair practices" by the tender-inviting agency.

No official was available to confirm its position about the project.

After this stance by AES Corporation, the developer of the country's largest 450MW power plant, the industry insiders apprehend that only two bidders-Powertek and Chevron-may finally submit bids.

However, the Power Cell is expected to receive bids from the three firms-AES, Chevron and Powertek. As per the bidding proposal, the firm that will win the final bid will have to implement the Bibiyana Power Project on build-own-operate (BOO) basis as an independent power producer (IPP) in line with the Private Sector Power Generation Policy 2004.

The state-owned Power Development Board (PDB) will purchase electricity from the plant for about 22 years.

Earlier, the Power Ministry had initiated the move for setting up three large-scale IPP projects: Bibiyana plant.

But, a Power Ministry source said they are giving priority to Bibiyana among the three projects, as natural gas is available there for it.

Bibiyana power plant will be set up at a location closed to the existing Bibiyana gas field in Habiganj. The Bibiyana Field has abundant surplus natural gas, which, for lack of infrastructure, will remain unutilised, industry insiders believe.

Bibiyana is the first large-scale power project for which the caretaker government initiated the physical move for implementing it to resolve the country's chronic power crisis.

The World Bank has made a commitment to finance the project, while its private-sector window, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), has been working as an adviser to assist the Power Cell in dealing with the tender process.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has promised to finance the private sponsor to install the Sirajganj and Meghnaghat-III plants.

According to the industry insiders, such big projects need more than three years' time for implementation after tendering.

"Even if the projects are given special care, those are unlikely to come into operation before 2010," said an executive of a private power company.

The speakers said the nation has attained successes in different need-based sectors, particularly immunisation, for the last couple of decades but could not achieve the cherished target of family planning as yet.

They asked the field-level officials and workers to perform their duty with utmost sincerity and honesty to reach the expected goal.

The meeting was informed that the population growth rate has now been reduced to 0.98 percent in the district while the national figure is 1.41 percent. The percentage of contraceptive users is 78.24 here.

Staff Reporter

Matia reiterated while addressing the party leaders and activists at a Milad Mahfil wishing for immediate recovery of former Prime Minister and party chief Sheikh Hasina, organised by ward no 37 of Dhaka City Awami League.

"The post of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) is constitutional. But the CEC is conducting unconstitutional function influenced by the government, as he is eager to arrange upazila election first', She added.

She asked the Government that why the national elections could not be arranged by October, if they would be able to arrange upazila election at the same time.

She termed the Government approach regarding holding of national election as dilly-dallying, which she said was illogical.

Law Secretary of AL central Committee Advocate Shahara Khatun, Acting President M A Aziz and Acting general Secretary Advocate Kamrul Islam of Dhaka City Unit, among others, were present in the Milad Mahfil.

16 among police chief killed in Mexico shootouts

BFF, Mexico

Gunmen killed 16 people, including a police chief, in a spate of separate shootouts across Mexico, which is grappling with a spike in drug-related violence, local officials said Thursday.

Six of the murder victims in Culiacan were inside a car repair shop, while three others were killed outside, the state attorney's office said. Reporters said the three victims outside the shop were police officers who rushed to the scene of the gunfire.

At practically the same time and also in Culiacan, one police officer was shot and killed at the wheel of his pickup truck. Another officer was killed and his partner wounded while they were driving a police vehicle, the officials said.

In northern Chihuahua state, a state police chief was dragged out of his house and shot execution style by gunmen, the local attorney general's office said, adding that the murdered officer had escaped another attempt on his life two weeks ago.

Four more men were found shot to death in Guadalupe, Calvo and Juarez, the Chihuahua state officials said.

Some 450 police officers have been killed in Mexico since the launch of a massive Federal anti-drugs operation in December 2006.

President Felipe Calderon has sent some 36,000 federal troops into key areas controlled by trafficking organisations, especially into Sinaloa, one of the state most hit by drug-related violence.

Last month the US government approved a 1.6-billion-dollar, three-year package of anti-drug assistance to Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean known as the Merida Initiative, a large part of which is expected to strengthen Calderon's efforts.

Four of a family killed by elephants in Bandarban

BSS, Bandarban

A herd of wild elephants on Friday trampled to death four members of a family at a remote village in Lama upazila of the hill district prompting over 100 families in the neighborhood to flee their homes for safety, officials said.

They said the four, including two minor children, were killed while asleep at their thatched house as the herd of some eight elephants stormed into the Tirer Deba village leveling four households and three rural shops.

"More than one hundred families in the neighborhood fled their homes for safe shelters as the elephants killed another person at the same village just a week ago," a police official told BSS.

With the today's incident 18 deaths from elephant attacks in Lama and neighbouring Naikhangchhari and Chokoria were reported in the past two months as the elephants raided villages coming down from the forests in search of food, targeting harvested heaps of paddy and household banana gardens.

Bangladesh has nearly 400 elephants, including 100 migratory pachyderms, and a similar number of captive elephants, forest officials said adding that up to 20 people and eight elephants are killed in human-elephant conflicts every year on an average.

Wildlife experts and officials have long been saying that human populations were fuelling more demand for land and other resources, destroying the elephants' habitat and placing them at a greater risk of direct confrontation with people.

Some 100 elephants migrated to forests in northern Sherpur from India's northeastern state of Meghalaya several years ago, but failed to return because of development of infrastructure like roads by Indian authorities.

Bangladesh have been asking Indian authorities to take back the elephants saying they were causing damage to crops, properties and human life in the region.

Personal letters by 'snail mail' fast disappearing

Bdnews24.com, Dhaka

The practice of posting hand-written letters has eroded so fast that just five percent of letters dispatched these days can be categorised as 'personal' compared to about 95 percent, or the bulk of postal correspondence, just five years ago, the director general of Bangladesh Post Office told bdnews24.com.

"Five years ago, the postal department used to handle about 21 crore letters annually, that figure dropped to about 16 crore in 2007," said post office chief Mobasherur Rahman.

Forty year-old businessman Masudur Rahman illustrates why: "I used to write letters to everyone-my parents, children, friends-well, now I have my cellphone for calling or sending an SMS at any time, my old habit of letter writing has been forgotten."

University student Mohibub Zaman adds that instant messaging services like googletalk and social networking sites such as Facebook don't leave any space for letter-writing these days.

Khandakar Sakhawat Ali, a teacher at a private university, said: "Communication media have changed overnight due to technological leaps. E-mail, and computer archiving have made preserving the correspondence easy too."

Post office director general Mobasherur Rahman said the postal department has initiated handwriting competitions for children, so that they retain the practice of writing letters and diaries in this electronic age.

GPO officials say a total of 9,800 post offices in the country employs around 7,500 staff and officers, but about 1,700 postman and billing clerk positions still lay vacant due to failures in recruitment.

However, no new post offices have been built in the last three years, they added, while many of the existing ones see less and less activity.

The counters at Dhaka's General Post Office remain almost deserted through the day, with few people buying envelopes, stamps or posting letters these days.

Tapashi Barua, who mans the enquiry counter of the capital's main post office, said she had been working at the GPO for 28 years. "These days, I hardly find a face before me booth making a query."

Poet Mahadev Saha told bdnews24.com: "A letter is a very intimate and passionate subject for me. Many of my poems mention letters."

"Now we don't want to write to or even meet people; the mobile phone suffices, you see."

"But let me tell you, a letter from 'a special somebody' still moves me and inspires me to see that person."

Agri firm reaping harvest from Govt land

Rafiqul Islam Azad

Capitalising on a huge piece of land of Shafipur Ansar Academy in Gazipur, a private firm has devised a plan to make crores of Taka in the name of agricultural development projects.

Khwaja Agri-Horticulture Research Centre, a name sake firm owned by a person, got the opportunity to enter inside the restricted area of the Academy in late 2002 under an incomplete Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to carry out agro-based plantation at its uncultivated land and provide training to Ansar and VDP members.

The shady MoU, signed between the authority and the firm, neither specified the size of the land to be used for agriculture purpose nor mentioned its validity period.

Sources in the Ansar Academy, a national institution to provide training to the members of Ansar and VDP, said the MoU was signed on production sharing basis.

According to the MoU, the Academy would get 30 per cent of the production in kind, while only 15 per cent in cash. The rest goes to the owner of the firm.

According to a statistic of the Ansar Academy, there were over 5,000 mother mango trees in the academy premises, which produced about one lakh KG of mangoes last year. The market price of those mangoes is estimated Tk 4,00,000, while the investment cost was only Tk 40,000. Besides, there are about 2,00,000 mango plants, which were grafted from the mother trees. The market value of the plants was about Tk 1,00,00,000 (one crore).

However, the caretaker of the firm told this correspondent that there are 1,00,000 grafted plants in the firm for sale. Price of each plant is Tk 40.

When contacted Khalilur Rahman, Deputy Director (Admn) of Ansar Academy told The New Nation that so far he knows the Academy was yet to take any money in cash from the Khwaja Agri-Horticulture Research Centre. He said money was no factor here; rather it was a promotional issue.

"The firm gives us plants at a cheap rate and the academy distributes plants among Ansar-VDP members," he said.

Asked whether there were any option to cancel the MoU, if the firm violates any of its conditions, he said, "We can remove them only after serving a legal notice."

About the size of the land being used by the firm, Khalilur Rahman said it was not mentioned what amount of land the firm could utilise but it was stated that they would use all uncultivated space of the academy on over 300 acres of land.

On the basis of the MoU, Sarwar Hossain popularly known as Aziz, got involve with various agricultural activities and research work, including, nursery, plantation of agarwood and bio-fuel inside the Academy.

Asked about the experience in the horticulture and bio-fuel research field, he admitted that he had no experience in the fields; rather he carried out the work taking help of consultants of the respective fields.

Interestingly, the firm, now, has been spreading the wings of its business capitalising on the Ansar Academy land and resorting to various tactics both local and foreign.

Showing the agarwood planted in the Ansar Academy premises, the Khwaja Agri-Horticulture Research Centre signed an agreement worth US$ 2,50,000 with Cultivated Agarwood LLC, an American Company to buy agar kits. The agar kits were inserted inside the agar plants to produce costly agarwood.

On invitation from Mohammed Sarwar Hossain, the proprietor of the firm, Robert A. Blanchette and Henry Heuveling Van Beek came to Dhaka on October 19, 2007 and visited the Ansar-VDP Agarwood Plantations inside the Academy.

The delegation stayed at the Ansar-VDP Guest House, Gazipur for three nights and signed the agreement on October 22 last year.

When contacted, Sarwar Hossain, however, said that there was no relation of cultivation of agar plants in the Ansar Academy premises with the agreement with the foreign company.

No officials of the academy wanted to say anything whether Sarwar Hossain sought the permission of the authority to arrange the visit of the delegation inside the academy premises and signing of the licence agreement.

About the MoU with Ansar Academy, he said the main aim of the MoU was to transfer technology and use of modern technology in the agricultural sector.

He said his firm has about 2,500 mother mango trees. He has a plan to produce 1,00,000 saplings from those trees every year.

Aziz said his firm provides training to the Ansar-VDP members on plantation and cultivation of mushroom and strawberry but he cannot say how many Ansar-VDP members were provided trainings so far.

Meanwhile, the Ansar Academy authority has started a coordinated agricultural activities on one hector area of the academy where various crops, fruits and vegetables are produced utilising the scientific method.

A senior officer involved with the project said that they are successfully carrying out the coordinated activities on a small piece of land. This could be a model to bring agricultural revolution in the country, he said.

Asked whether they were capable of utilizing the land being used by the firm he parried the question saying that there were many things to do on their own, but they could not take the decision.

Motivational FP programme can reduce number of ultra poor: CA

UNB, Dhaka

Chief Adviser Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed Friday called for strengthening the motivational programmes for workers, landless and floating people, urban slum dwellers and the poor in char and remote hilly areas to reduce the poor population.

He said the Family Planning Directorate has taken up a good number of motivational programmes in this regard. But it is difficult for it alone to build up public opinion against the backdrop of low literacy rate, unemployment, unawareness, stigma and superstition.

Dr Fakhruddin urged all concerned including different ministries, NGOs, non-government service-oriented institutions and various professional organizations to take up realistic programmes and implement those to achieve the objective.

The head of the caretaker government was inaugurating a programme at Osmani Memorial Auditorium, marking the World Population Day 2008.

The theme of this year's population day is: "It's a right, let's make it real."

The Chief Adviser suggested that population control programmes would have to be taken targeting the early-married couples.

Presently, the rate of unmet need in family planning is 17.6 percent, which was 11.3 percent in 2004. This shows the rate of unmet need increased by over 6 percent in last four years.

Juveniles, ranging from 10-19 years, constitute 23 percent of the total population in the country. The percentage of unmet need is much among the married women of 15-19 years old and the rate is 19.8 percent, it was told in the function.

Dr Fakhruddin said that despite demand of family planning services by a huge number of couples, often it is not being possible to reach such services to them.

The family planning services still do not reach 17.6 percent of couples and quick steps will have to be taken to this end, he said, adding that the rate of unmet need is much more in Sylhet, Chittagong and Barisal.

Health Adviser AMM Shawkat Ali, DG Family Planning Directorate Kamrun Nesa Khanam and UNFPA country representative Arthur Erken also spoke at the function, chaired by Health Secretary AKM Zafarullah Khan.

Earlier, the Chief Adviser distributed prizes among the seven best performers in family planning activities from seven categories in six divisions.

A total of 42 prizes were given for making special contribution in checking maternal and infant mortality and in family planning activities last year in the categories of family welfare inspector, family welfare assistant, mother and child welfare centre, upazila, union, union health and family welfare centre and non-government organizations.

Each prize carries a crest and certificate, while additional Tk 5,000 in prize bonds for family welfare inspector and family welfare assistant categories.

The Chief Adviser in his speech said population is a very important matter for the country in the perspective of its progress, people and standard of life and in the efforts of development.

Necessity to keep population limited for alleviating poverty and attain socioeconomic progress is recognized by all today, he told the function.

He mentioned that the population would stand at 17.20 crore in 2020 and rise to 21 crore in 2060 though it might be possible to bring down the replacement worthy population fertility to targeted 1 by the year 2010.

Presently, the rate of population growth is 1.43 percent with almost 953 people living in a square kilometer area.

Dr Fakhruddin said this increase of the population would aggravate the present crisis of meeting fundamental demands including education, food and health.

To save the future generation from such situation, the country would have to quickly reduce population growth and also have to build up skilled manpower keeping the population limited, he added.

The Chief Adviser called for putting highest contributions en masse and to untiedly build up a developed Bangladesh with a tolerable population.

DU canteens served substandard food

BSS, Dhaka

Students of Dhaka University (DU) are taking their meals on higher payment in view of the current soaring prices of essentials, but eating low quality food under some sorts of compulsions.

Residential students often allege that they are in fact buying diseases as well as various other health problems by eating such low-grade food in the DU canteens at the cost of their parent's hard-earned money.

According to the halls officials, more than 60 percent of the DU residential and non- residential students take their food at the dormitories' canteens while the rest of them eat at hall messes or elsewhere on the campus.

Manager of the Sergeant Zahurul Haque Hall canteen Mohammad Jahangir told BSS that some 550-600 students out of the total 1,100 inmates of its dormitory usually take their meals at the canteen.

"At present, the number of students having their meals at the canteen are falling day by day," he added.

The DU authorities have recently raised the per meal price from Taka 12 to Taka 22 assuring the students that they will be served with quality food. But we are compelled to eat such foods, which are not eatable, said Mansur Alam, a resident student of Zaharul Haque Hall.

He also alleged that the authorities have been serving low quality foods, lacking minimum nutritional standard.

Kamal Ahmed, a resident student of Salimullah Muslim Hall, said the present per meal price at the hall canteens is somewhat justified because of the spiraling prices of essentials in markets but the most regrettable matter is that the foods are not at all up to the satisfactory level.

Jamaluddin Jami of Kabi Jasimuddin Hall expressed a little more painful experience of himself as a student of the country's largest seat of learning saying, "Since the day I started taking meals at my hall canteen, I could not get the opportunity of having the taste of meat."

"Coarse rice, a very little amount of half-soaked vegetable, curry with a tiny piece of 'pangas' fish, and highly diluted dal are being served at our hall canteen," he said in a pale look.

As cooking is their universal passion, most of the female residential students prepare their own meals in rooms using electric heaters. Unfortunately, they also face problems during cooking time because of load shedding leaving a sizeable number of them unfed at night.

Shabnam Mushtari of Rokeya Hall said, "As the quality of food at the canteens is not good enough for eating, I have to take the trouble of cooking my own food by saving sometimes from my study hours."

Provost of Zahurul Haque Hall Professor Zahedul Islam got a good reason for low-quality food in the DU canteens when he told BSS that the price of essentials has gone up making it impossible to serve quality meals.

Nizamul Haq Bhuiyan, Assistant Professor of the Institute of Food and Nutrition, said the university authorities should provide subsidy for meals at the DU canteens at least to allow the students eat quality food.

"The University authorities can ensure quality food for the residential students by not raising the current meal charges," he said.

Many residential students strongly feel that the canteen managers should be more sincere and careful in preparing meals and buying essentials from markets, taking into their conscientious consideration that Dhaka University is producing the leaders of tomorrow.
