Demand speakers at event

The government should implement the Teesta master plan by raising local funds to save people around the Teesta basin, demanded leaders of Teesta Bachao Nadi Bachao Sangram Parisahd in Rangpur yesterday.

They urged the government to take immediate steps to solve the Teesta issue with India, as the problem has caused floods, river erosion, and left many jobless.

A mass gathering was organised in Rangpur in this regard.

They also suggested the government seek the help of river experts from different countries and allocate funds in the upcoming budget, as it did for the Padma bridge.

The Teesta project, if implemented, would help boost the local economy, they added.

The speakers emphasised that millions of people in several northern districts have been affected by the Teesta river, and untimely floods have become a common problem around the Teesta basin.

Although discussions about the Teesta issue have been going on for several decades, no solution has been found.

Among others, former ministers Rashed Khan Menon, Hasanul Haq Inu, lawmaker Shamim Haidar Patwari, and Jasad general secretary Nazmul Haq Prodhan were present at the programme.

Mostafizur Rahman Mostafa, mayor of Rangpur City Corporation and leader of Jatiya Party, inaugurated the event, while Narzul Islam Hakkani, president of Teesta Bachao Nodi Bachao Sangram Parishad, chaired the gathering.

The Teesta master plan aims to ensure the sustainable and equitable use of water resources between Bangladesh and India, promote irrigation, and reduce flood risks. It also aims to address the issue of water-sharing between the two countries.
