Flood situation in Bangladesh not due to release of waters from Indian dam on Gumti River: MEA

The Ministry of External Affairs on Thursday said that the flood situation in Bangladesh is not caused due to release of waters from Indian dam on Gumti River. In a statement, the MEA said that it saw concerns being expressed in Bangladesh that the current situation of flood in districts on the eastern borders of Bangladesh has been caused by opening of the Dumbur dam upstream of the Gumti River in Tripura. This is factually not correct, it clarified.
