State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid called the authorities concerned for ensuring energy security in the country for the next generation. “The actions taken under mega-plan must be implemented quickly in a coordinated manner… Worldwide energy transition and its multi dimensional use are visible now. Energy security in the country for the next generation should be ensured through far-sighted and pragmatic measures of the authorities concerned,” he said.
He said this recently while addressing a programme over draft proposal of potential development of Dighipara coal mine as the chief guest at Petrobangla here. With Petrobangla Chairman ABM Abdul Fattah in the chair, the programme was attended, among others, by Fugro Director Santanu Moitra.
