Three Thai community leaders presented a bowl of coal to Asian Development Bank president Haruhiko Kuroda during the bank's annual meeting in Hyderabad, between May 3-6, 2006. It was a symbolic protest by Narudon Suchartphong, Charoen Dethkum and Sutti Atchasai against the impact of the bank-funded thermal plant run by Banpu Public Company Limited and the Mae Moh coalmine, which were causing respiratory diseases, destroying livelihoods and displacing thousands in Thailand.
