He also informed that the TBP authority would be able to irrigate the growing Boro fields cultivated on 65,000 hectares of land in its command area this time in greater Rangpur and Dinajpur from now if the flow remains around 4,000 cusec onwards.
‘We have already diverted the Teesta water through the canals for irrigating Boro fields from today,’ the executive engineer said adding that they have no official information so far on release of water by the authorities of the Gozaldoba Barrage in India.
