[🇧🇩] India's Water Terrorism Against Bangladesh

[Saif]

India's actions are China specific and not Bangladesh specific.

China is the upper not lower riparian country

You can convince China not to build the dam on upstream. Our dam is in reaction to save flooding of down stream area. You have a strategic partnerships with China. If China doesn't build a dam upstream, India will not build it down stream.

Bangladesh govt. for sure is building a catchment reservoir and a dam downstream in both Teesta and Brahmaputra rivers where they enter Bangladesh, to control flooding.

Together with dredging these rivers and their tributaries yearly.

These two dams/barrages will be built by the Chinese and on easy-term loans.

I don't know if even the Ganges/Padma upstream of the Bangladesh border (in India) is ever dredged - forget Teesta and Brahmaputra.

If one builds dams - then that has an effect on upstream siltation and flooding.

This is the reason for the devastating floods in Bihar which happens every year now.

Neetish Kumar asked for decommissioning the Farakka barrage - he thinks that dam is the reason for the floods in Bihar (siltation upstream of Farakka), and he may be right.
