DHAKA: A regional Bangladeshi group has urged the government to sign the three billion dollar investment deal with Indian conglomerate Tata, saying it would have a "positive" impact on the country's northern region. The Uttarbanga Janakalyan Samity (UJS), representing inhabitants of nothern Bangladesh, said it would form an human chain on August 8 to push the government to clear the way for Tata's investment.
"The investment by the industrial giant will help change the life in the country's northern part, which has been deprived of the expected development," UJS President Khandaker Azadur Rahman said. "The Tata investment will definitely create a momentum in the whole region, we will see some more investments," he said adding "we have become totally frustrated and angry after Tata suspended its investment plan due to delay by the government."
Tata recently announced the "suspension" of its plan due to delays by the Bangladesh government in giving a green signal to its investments.
