PM wants India to implement Teesta project
PM wants India to implement Teesta project
Dhaka, Jul 14 - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said, she would like India to implement the Teesta project as it is related to the neighbouring country.
“But I would prioritise that India will do it. India holds the water of Teesta River…. So, they should do the project and they would give whatever is necessary here if they do the project,” she said.
The premier said this replying to a question at a press conference arranged at her official residence about the outcomes of her recent visit to China.
She said, China has come up with some offers and conducted a feasibility study about the Teesta project and India has also given offers and will carry out a feasibility study.
The PM, however, said the government will go for the proposal which will be suitable for Bangladesh after completion of feasibility study by India.-UNB
