Kolkata, June 24: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing 슬롯사이트strong reservation슬롯사이트� over the Centre excluding the state government from discussions with Bangladesh regarding Teesta water sharing and the Farakka Treaty.

Banerjee also urged the PM to not hold any such discussion with the neighbouring country without involving the West Bengal government. The letter, which was shot off in the wake of Modi's recent bilateral talks with his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina in Delhi, followed Banerjee's reported displeasure expressed in close circles after details of the meet between the two heads of state were reported in national media.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트Defer Implementation of Three New Criminal Laws슬롯사이트�: West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee Writes Letter to PM Narendra Modi.

슬롯사이트I am writing this letter in context of the recent visit of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. It seems that water sharing issues relating to the Ganges and Teesta rivers may have been discussed during the meeting. Such unilateral deliberations and discussions without consultation and the opinion of the state government is neither acceptable nor desirable,슬롯사이트� she said in a three-page letter to Modi.

Bengal has a very close relationship with Bangladesh - geographically, culturally and economically, she noted. Banerjee, while referring to the Indo-Bangla agreement on exchange of enclaves and rail-bus connectivity services between the two nations, maintained that West Bengal has 슬롯사이트cooperated with Bangladesh on several issues in the past슬롯사이트� contributing to the 슬롯사이트betterment of economy in the region슬롯사이트�.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Mamata Banerjee 'Funny' Video: Kolkata Police Ask X User to Disclose Identity for Sharing Animated Clip of West Bengal CM.

슬롯사이트However, water is very precious and is the lifeline of the people. We cannot compromise on such a sensitive issue, which has severe and adverse implications on the people. People of West Bengal will be the worst sufferers due to the impact of such agreements,슬롯사이트� said Banerjee, in reference to both Teesta and Farakka waters.

Focusing on the 1996 Bangladesh Farakka Treaty, which, according to Banerjee, is currently in the process of renewal ahead of its scheduled expiry in 2026, the chief minister highlighted the 슬롯사이트disruption of river links causing reduction of water availability슬롯사이트� in rivers on this side of the international border, and 슬롯사이트accentuated riverbank erosion슬롯사이트� as twin fallout of the Farakka Barrage project.

슬롯사이트I would like to bring to your notice that river morphology has changed in the eastern part of India and Bangladesh over many years, which has deprived West Bengal and negatively impacted the water availability in the state,슬롯사이트� she said in the letter. Terming the disconnection of the Bhagirathi from the Ganges a 슬롯사이트genesis of construction of the Farakka Barrage Project슬롯사이트�, she stressed on the impact of reduced silt flow into the Hooghly River as an additional fallout.

슬롯사이트This has accentuated erosion by the rivers and the areas both in the upstream and downstream of the barrage have faced serious loss of life and property슬롯사이트� Lakhs of people have been displaced from their habitation rendering them homeless and also leading to their loss of livelihood. The reduced silt load in Hooghly has impeded the nourishment of the Sunderban delta,슬롯사이트� the CM said.

Banerjee also alleged central deprivation over promised dredging funds, and the 슬롯사이트unilateral reduction슬롯사이트� of the Farakka Barrage Project Authority for implementing anti-erosion work in the region.

Turning her attention to the discussion over sharing of Teesta water between the two countries, Banerjee blamed the construction of a 슬롯사이트series of hydropower projects in Sikkim, deforestation in upper catchment and impact of climate change슬롯사이트� as reasons behind the river's health suffering. 슬롯사이트It seems that, in the meeting, the Government of India has proposed a bilateral cooperation between India and Bangladesh for restoration of Teesta in Bangladesh,슬롯사이트� she observed.

The chief minister also reasoned why it would 슬롯사이트not be feasible to share Teesta water with Bangladesh슬롯사이트�. 슬롯사이트Due to reasons stated above, water flow in Teesta has gone down over the years and it is estimated that if any water is shared with Bangladesh, lakhs of people in North Bengal will get severely impacted due to inadequate availability of irrigation water. In addition, Teesta water is also needed for meeting drinking water requirements of the residents of North Bengal,슬롯사이트� she asserted.

슬롯사이트I love and respect the people of Bangladesh and always wish for their well-being... (but) I convey my strong reservation that no discussion on sharing of Teesta water and the Farakka Treaty should be taken up with Bangladesh without the involvement of the state government. The interest of people in West Bengal is paramount, which should not be compromised at any cost,슬롯사이트� Banerjee said.
