No deal on Teesta water

Much hope was generated during the visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that an agreement on water sharing of the Teesta river will be signed. But no accord was signed this time. This river is the lifeline of the northern region of our country. It is West Bengal's Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who has taken an adamant stance on this water sharing issue.

We hope that the leader will soften her stance and take into consideration the life and livelihood of thousands of people who depend on this river.
