On February 19, a field level inspection was conducted in order to discuss the significant development indicative of strong India-Bangladesh ties.
India, Bangladesh agreement:
A discussion was conducted by both of the states to resolve the lifting of water from river Feni, flowing along the India-Bangladesh international borders.
Resolution to prevent erosion:
Apart from that, higher officials from both the countries took a resolve to prevent erosion in certain patches of the river bank to maintain the health and navigability of the river, District Magistrate, South Tripura, Saju Waheed said on February 19.
Waheed, who was a member of the Indian delegation that received the Bangladesh delegates and who later inspected the approved projects at the river banks, said that the joint visit was successful by all means as works are expected to start within the next two to three weeks.
“It is a big breakthrough. For the last 12 years, these projects did not see any development despite the fact both the countries approved the water ties long back.
Other works:
The field level inspections, such as identification of land and other construction works, were getting delayed due to some unforeseen reasons. Hopefully, within the next two to three weeks, works shall start in the selected spots”, he added.
Explaining about the projects, he said, there are two important projects that are ambitious as well as very necessary for the people living on the banks of river Feni.
