 On the fourth day [August 30, 2006] of the continued strike, the Government submitted to the Phulbari protesters and agreed to meet all six of their demands. The foremost demand of the people of the mine area is the expulsion of Asia Energy from Phulbari and the country. However, the cabinet needs to approve this agreement.
The agreement is reached in a meeting at Parbatipur upazila, neighboring to Phulbari. Rajshahi City Corporation Mayer Mr. Mizanur Rahman Minu signed the deal on behalf of the government while Prof. Anu Mohammed signed it on behalf of the National Committee to Protect Oil, Gas, Mineral Resources, Power and Port.
In accordance with the agreement, the national committee representing the protesters ended the strike and other protest programs - effective from the midnight on 30 August. The government agreed to provide Tk.2 lacs (US$2,950) as compensation to each of the families of Saturday's killing and Tk. 15 lacs to the Deputy Commissioner for the treatment of those injured.
