Speaking at the event, the minister said, “The importance of the Teesta Master Plan goes beyond this region; it is very important for the entire country. That is why Prime Minister Tariq Rehman made a commitment to the nation while addressing the ‘Jaago Bahe’ (Save Teesta River) movement before the elections. Inshallah, our visit here today is part of fulfilling that commitment.”
At the meeting, Lalmonirhat-3 MLA and Disaster Management and Relief Minister Asadul Habib Dulu said, “For a long time, we have been running a social movement under the banner of ‘Jaago Bahe Teesta Bachai’ to implement the Teesta Master Plan. Now some people have started the movement regarding the Teesta Master Plan. When we were running the campaign to protect the Teesta river, we had not seen them. Now that there is a possibility of ECNEC’s approval, they are taking credit for it. Want to take. Where were they when we were protesting on the Teesta issue? This is a matter of their concern.
