Following incessant rainfall over the past few days, water levels in Teesta and other major rivers are rising, triggering widespread flood concerns in the northern districts.
The Indian External Affairs Ministry today said it did not have any immediate response about Bangladesh issuing note verbale to the neighbouring country seeking information over media reports on West Bengal digging two more canals to divert Teesta waters
Thousands of people in low-lying areas under the Hatibandha upazila of Lalmonirhat, adjacent to Teesta Barrage, have left their homesteads this (August 1, 2022) evening as the Teesta River water has been flowing 25cm above the danger level due to the onrush of water from upstream.
About one lakh people are under threat of floods on the shoals and chars of the Teesta river in five upazilas in Lalmonirhat as the river is about to cross the danger level due to heavy downpour upstream across the border.
