Beijing: China has not shared any hydrological data for the Brahmaputra river this monsoon season with India but continues to give them to Bangladesh.
On September 12, China had said that it could not share the data with India due to upgradation of data collection station in Tibet.
"For long time we have conducted cooperation on the river data with the Indian side. But to upgrade and renovate the relevant station in the Chinese side, we do not have the conditions now to collect the relevant statistics of the river," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang had told the media.
Asked when will China provide the data, he had added, "We will later consider that."
However, Bangladesh is receiving water level and discharge level data of the Brahmaputra from Beijing.
BBC quoted Mofazzal Hossain, a member of the joint rivers commission of Bangladesh, as saying - "We received data of water level of the Bramahaputra from China few days ago."
