Abstract
River linked topics are most debatable issues between Bangladesh and India. India is an upper riparian state and any step taken by India in common rivers directly affects Bangladesh. The painful experience of it is Farakka barrage. At present India is going to generate a big barrage (530 feet high) in Tipaimukh area on the river Barak. Barak is the river that flows between India and Bangladesh. After entering Bangladesh it turns into Meghna, Surma and Kushiara. If the barrage is concluded Meghna and Kushiara will become waterless and Sylhet, which is situated in the northeast of Bangladesh, will also have the same lot of desertification as the northwest part of Bangladesh. But Indian government appears to be unconcerned about it. Although Tipaimukh barrage will also be harmful to India, yet it concludes its crucial effort only for the purpose of energy producing.
