Tripura governor Tathagata Roy on Tuesday said dams built by China upstream of Brahmaputra and other rivers will hit Bangladesh harder than India.
He also took a swipe at West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee for her opposition to sharing the Teesta river water with Bangladesh.
Roy was speaking at the 8th India-Bangladesh Friendship Dialogue where a Guwahati Declaration was announced for greater cooperation between the two countries in security, communication and trade.
“China building a series of dams on Yarlung Zangbo (upstream of Brahmaputra) and working on river diversion are serious issues that will affect Bangladesh the most. India does not divert water and there are no barrages on Brahmaputra,” Roy said.
