South Talpatti

It is a very tiny island which is located at the mouth of Haribhanga river on Bangladesh-India border. Although it's a very tiny island but it has a great significance in terms of geo-strategic matters for Bangladesh. If we get back this island, our territorial sea, exclusive economic zone will be expanded as well. But what's the reality at present? India occupied the island in the early 1980's. At that time, though Bangladesh protested strongly against India's occupation but India didn't listen to Bangladesh's appeal.

But we believe all contentious issues must be discussed and settled peacefully.
