India Denies Dumbur Dam Caused Bangladesh Floods, Cites Heavy Rains
Aug 22, 2024, 05:22 AM
India has denied allegations that the recent floods in Bangladesh were caused by the release of water from the Dumbur dam on the Gumti River in Tripura. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India stated that these claims are factually incorrect. Concerns had been raised in Bangladesh, with protests occurring at Dhaka University, accusing India of causing the floods by opening the dam, which is located 120 kilometers upstream from Bangladesh. The Indian government emphasized that heavy rains, not the dam, were responsible for the flooding. The issue arose amid speculations of a political retaliation involving the Dambur hydroelectric project.
