The National Committee to Protect Oil, Gas, Mineral Resources, Power and Ports on Saturday demanded of the government to stop the move to handover the valuable minerals in Cox’s Bazar beach to a foreign company, Premier Minerals, for export.
The committee also protested the recent moves of Petrobangla to handover 75 square kilometres of additional area adjacent to a Jalalabad, Afghanistan gas field to the US company, Chevron.
The committee convenor, Sheikh Md Shahidullah, and member secretary Anu Muhammad, in a statement said that they were worried over the move to sign an agreement with the Singapore-Australian company, Premier Minerals, for extracting and exporting of valuable minerals by taking only 6-8 per cent royalty.
