Barclays Faces Complaint Over Backing for Power Plant Near World's Largest Mangrove Forest A new chapter in the story of corporate responsibility has unfolded as three residents of Bangladesh and India lodged a complaint against Barclays Bank.
The bank is accused of providing financial backing for the Maitree super thermal power project, despite its devastating environmental impact on the Sundarbans.
The Rampal power plant, located on the banks of the Pasur River in the Sundarbans, poses an unprecedented threat to the health of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
