Bangladesh finally joined hands with China, increasing the risk for India

-China gives Mabalakh loan for dam on Teesta river

New Delhi / Dhaka Dated 18th August 2020 Tuesday

Bangladesh, which had been cooperating as a friend of India till yesterday, finally fell prey to China's temptation. After Nepal, China has now succeeded in enticing Bangladesh with its economic help.

According to media reports from Bangladesh, China will provide a loan of one billion US dollars to Bangladesh to realize various projects on its rivers. This is a matter of concern for India because despite India's tireless efforts, Bangladesh has not yet reached any agreement with India on the sharing of river water. At one time Bangladesh and Pakistan were also internal parts of India. Some rivers and regions are shared between India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, so it is necessary to cooperate in the distribution and sharing of river water.

Jyoti Prasad Ghosh, chief engineer of the Water Development Board under Bangladesh's Ministry of Water Resources, told Benar News on Monday that China had agreed to help with the dam project on the Teesta River. We hope to be able to implement this plan from December this year.

According to a report in Benar News, Bangladesh's finance ministry had in May this year sought મદદ 853 million to build a dam on the Teesta River in the Rangpur area. For the first time, China was involved in a project to build a dam on a river in Bangladesh and agreed to provide a loan of Rs.

Earlier, China had lured most of the countries bordering India with various lures. Let's say he made his own oasis. Till yesterday, Pakistan and Nepal were the main such countries. Now Bangladesh was also trapped by China.
