41 Spanish staff given letters to come back to work Adequate security steps taken

Anisul Islam Noor :
The government has sent letters to 41 foreign technicians to return to their work places because the government has taken adequate security measures. The technicians have been working with power plants.
 It is their duty to remain faithful to the contract. So, if they do not return, it will be treated as breach of deals, the letter said. A Spanish company working with different power plants sent a letter to the government on October 5 regarding withdrawal of its staff for an interim period on security ground. It also notified the Power Development Board (PDB) about its anxiety.
The Spanish Company named Isolux Ingenietia pulled out its 41 foreign staff, including 26 Spanish nationals from Bangladesh. The company wrote to the Power Development Board (PDB) that the Isolux was withdrawing its staff temporarily due to security reason.
Of them, 38 were working at Siddhirganj, two at Bibiyana and one in Khulna. The officials were working at 335MW Siddhirganj Power Project, 400MW Bibiyana South Power Project and 150MW Khulna Power Project.
“Isolux withdrew its 38 staff from the plant. We tried to assure them of the best possible security, but they withdrew their foreign employees. My project will be hampered seriously if they do not return soon,” said Md Mostofa Kamal, Managing Director of the Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh (EGCB).
State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said, PDB has sent letter on behalf of the government, as the foreigners were working at state-owned three entities in Bangladesh.  
Any sudden withdrawal of staff will be considered as the breach of the contract, and the government can take steps as per agreement, PDB sources said.
