Hundreds protested in northern Bangladesh over India’s management of shared rivers, demanding truthful water distribution. Demonstrators accuse India of diverting water from 30 of 54 shared rivers, impacting Bangladeshis. A 2011 settlement failed as a consequence of West Bengal’s opposition, citing native water considerations. Protesters search renewed talks and compensation for environmental harm. Some suggest a China-backed dam venture in Bangladesh to counter India’s dams. Nonetheless, this raises diplomatic tensions as a consequence of potential Chinese language presence close to India’s border. The long-standing water dispute stays unresolved.
