1. Teesta is a 414 km long river flowing from India to the Bay of Bengal through Bangladesh. Almost half a dozen districts in West Bengal is dependent on this river.
2. Teesta river provides livelihood to approximately 73% of Bangladesh population as per a report furnished by Asia Foundation in 2013.
3. In 1983 a deal was proposed for equitable sharing but the implementation hit a roadblock. The mean annual flow of the river is 60 billion cubic metres. A significant amount of it flows during the monsoon season i.e. between June to September. During lean season i.e. from October to May, the flow is only 500 million cubic metres per month.
4. In the month from December to March, Bangladesh wants 50% of the water supply, whereas India has claimed a share of 55%.
5. In 2011, the agreement did not fructify due to objections from West Bengal Chief Minister. As per the constitution of India, Water is a state subject and approval of all the stakeholders is required for the deal to go ahead.
6. In 2019 External Affairs Minister of India had a meeting with his Bangladesh counterparts and they were still unable to reach a consensus on the water-sharing agreement.

China controls most of India's main rivers through Tibet. Can China pull its leverage on India too?

The rivers which originates from Tibet has little catchment area in Tibet. More than 80% waters comes from Indian catchment area.

Any state government will show its concerns but it is ultimately between two nations to come to an agreement. State government may have its say but the ultimate power will be with central government.

Mentioning that not only Teesta, rather, India built dams in the upstreams of 54 transboundary rivers, Mirza Fakhrul said, “India generates electricity by withdrawing water through dams, but our farmers could not produce grains due to lack of water, our fishermen could not catch fish in the river. All the people living along the riverbank have been facing this unbearable situation. That is why this call to save Teesta River is a call from our heart.”

Which dam has India build over Ganges. tell me the name of dam. I want to increase my knowledge. So far as I know, India uses Ganges as water way from Uttarakhand up to BD. There is no dam inbetween. If it is there, BD friends in add to my general knowledge.
