Bangladesh: Water sharing depends on India, PM

DHAKA, 06 September 2022, (TON): Prime minister Sheikh Hasina has said that resolving the water sharing issue mainly depends on India.

Mentioning that Bangladesh and India have water sharing deal only for the River Ganges and they have 54 other common rivers, she said, “It’s a longstanding problem. So, it should be solved. But it depends mainly on India.”

Hasina said “this in an interview with multimedia news agency Asian News International ahead of her four-day state visit to India.”

Recalling earlier discussions, in her meeting with  Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in March 2021, she iterated Bangladesh’s long-pending request for concluding the interim agreement on the sharing of the Teesta water.
