China dams, river diversion will hit Bangladesh harder: Tripura governor Tathagata Roy

• Bangladesh, he pointed out, depends a lot on river transport and irrigation that China’s plans will eventually kill.
  
  “I am a civil engineer and I know laws pertaining to international rivers that China ignores. But India cannot deny water to Bangladesh, and the issues need to be resolved through arbitration, joint commission or other such mechanisms,” Roy said, adding he did not reflect India’s official stand.
  A major river-related issue between India and Bangladesh is Teesta. Banerjee insists the river does not have enough water to share.
  
  “It is not only about Teesta but about many rivers that flow from India into Bangladesh, a lower riparian state. The two countries should share water as well as share shortage of water,” he said.
  
  Roy also asked Dhaka to rethink its opposition to the proposed Tipaimukh dam on river Barak in Manipur. Barak flows into Bangladesh.
  
  
  
  “Since water from Tipaimukh will not be diverted, Bangladesh does not have a valid reason to oppose it,” the governor said.
