PM wants India to implement Teesta project

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 the Teesta River…So, they should do the project and they would give whatever is necessary here if they do the project,” she said.

The prime minister said this while replying to a question at a press conference arranged at her official residence Ganabhaban 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 project and India has also given offers and will carry out a feasibility study.

She, however, said the government will go for the proposal that will be suitable for Bangladesh after the completion of a feasibility study by India.
