'Tipaimukh barrage to create environmental disasters'
A barrage on the river Borak at Tipaimukh adjoining Sylhet border would be more disastrous than the Farakka Barrage, said Ferdous Ahmed Koraishi, convenor of the Green Party of Bangladesh.
In a statement yesterday, he said if India implements the project, the flow of the Surma and Kushiara would be hampered severely, causing frequent floods and droughts along with other environmental hazards.
Ferdous Ahmed urged the government to raise the issue at all international forums including the United Nations immediately.
He also called upon the people to be united to resist the Indian move.
