Environmental activists say, this project will start desertification in Bangladesh, which is already suffering desertification in northwestern districts due to Farakka Dam. It will also affect on ecosystem of that area (Sylhet), will hamper rice production which require huge amount of water. And will also affect fish production because fish is mainly found in the monsoon when many part of that area goes under water.

Former Indian High commissioner to Bangladesh Pinak Ranjan made a controversial comment in which he termed Bangladeshi experts as ‘so called experts’. He was talking about those experts who were talking about possible adverse effect of this project.
