Opposition activists on Saturday allegedly torched over 100 polling centres across Bangladesh in a bid to foil Sunday’s polls, which took place amid unprecedented security. The main Opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its allies are boycotting the polls.
The 10th parliamentary election will be held for just 147 out of the 300 seats in 59 out of 64 districts. In the other constituencies, 153 candidates have won uncontested because of the opposition boycott.
Polling will take place at 18,208 centres. The ruling alliance of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has reiterated its determination to take part in the election.
Kochi is now on the world LNG map with former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh dedicating the already operational LNG (liquefied natural gas) terminal to the nation. The Rs. 4500 crore terminal, which started functioning four months ago, was officially in January 2015.
The project, with a capacity of 5 MMTPA (million matric tones per annum), built by Petronet LNG Limited, materialised after eight years of hard work by the Central and State governments. Dr. Singh urged Chief Minister Oommen Chandy and Petroleum Minister Veerappa Moily to coordinate with all the stakeholders to ensure that the full potential of the Kochi terminal is realised.
The terminal will contribute to making Kerala an industry-oriented and investor-friendly destination. It will also contribute to the efforts to promote clean energy and reduce carbon emissions, protecting Kerala’s environment.
