you still do not get it. do you? farakka effects padma and soutghwest. sylhet or rangpur is not effected by farakka. greater sylhet gets flooded by meghna, surma, kushiara. jamuna effects jamalpur, tangail. and so on. fyi, jamuna carries more than 50% of river water of bangladesh. please look at the bangladesh map before you start talking about it.

Why Farkka is the culprit? Well, when you have massive rivers with minimum or no water flow during dry seasons for 25-30 years they would gradually fill up and the river bottom is much higher now than it used to be and in some areas the river has ceased to exist. You should know that rivers not only carry water it also reserves massive amount of water. India has never provided Bangladesh with its fair share of water according to the international law or treaty (if one exists there!). And therefore, all rivers downstream from India are flooding these days more than ever. From: alochona@yahoogroup s.com [mailto:alochona@ yahoogroups. com] On Behalf Of jahid russel

Subject: Re: [ALOCHONA] False statement of Education Minister Based on official record (maintained in AL, BNP, JP period) he is right. We defintely have lot of issues with India. I would rather ask you how Farakka is a reason when Sylhet, Pabna, Dinajpur or Mymensingh is flooded?

Date: Monday, February 9, 2009, 10:55 PM In a meeting with visiting Indian Foreign Minister, our education minister said the following: "India helped us during our independce struggle. (A true statement). India continued to help us after independence. ( A false statement)." - The daily Ittefaq. Feb 10, 2009 What the education minister could have told the Indian foreign minister "India helped us during our independce struggle. But it continued to screw us after the independence. (A true statement)". To support his statement, he could bring the following issues ( I am surprised none of our ministers including the PM brought the following issues): 1. Farakkah (No. 1 reason for flood in Bangladesh). 2. Push in the poor Indians to Bangladesh. 3. Improper tarrifs on Bangladeshi products. | | |
