Not the right course
We have seen a report published in the national dailies some days ago that the prime minister called a meeting with the ambassadors of the developed countries to seek financial help to make the dead river Garai navigable by excavating.
We do not get enough water due to the Farakka Barrage. Nevertheless, India is going to construct another barrage at the Tipaimukh and if it does, our rivers in the eastern part will be dead. So, will we seek foreign help to revive those rivers once again? The government should take up the matter with its Indian counterpart and seek a just solution.
