Stop construction of illegal resorts near the Sundarbans
There are countless examples of how far our reckless and corrupt behavior can extend. We have filled rivers and canals, encroached on land, flattened hills, and cleared forests to build whatever we desire. Greed, dishonesty, and severe mismanagement by the state define our character and our governance.

We reach out to seize any opportunity, failing to recognize that we are harming our own future.
