Two Tripura rivers to be linked with Bangladesh's Meghna

[KIND]

AGARTALA: To create three waterways between landlocked Tripura and Bangladesh, two major rivers of the state would be linked with the river Meghna of the neighboring country, official sources said today.

The Ministry of Water Transport and Shipping has asked the state government to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) to connect state's two major rivers- Howrah and Gomati with Meghna, state Transport Secretary Samarjit Bhowmik told reporters.

"Transport department has already engaged a consultancy agency to prepare a DPR for the project, which is likely to be available within a short period and then we would place the budget for the project", Bhowmick said.

Earlier, RITES had conducted a survey for the new waterways and submitted the report to the ministry suggesting dredging of the two rivers and a required fund of Rs 47 crore for developing three waterways, he added.

Meanwhile, another (DPR) for construction of a bridge on River Feni has been finalized to connect Sabroom, a subdivisional town in South Tripura district with Ramhar of Chittagong Division of Bangladesh and the government of India has sanctioned Rs 91 crore for the project.

The DPR for the 250 feet long bridge was handed over to the state department of Industries and Commerce, the nodal department for communication with Bangladesh, State PWD's Chief Engineer Sunil Bhowmik said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to the neighbouring country on June 6 had laid the foundation stone for the bridge through video conferencing from Dhaka in presence of Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

India will construct the bridge on the river Feni to get access to the Chittagong international sea port in Bangladesh and the neighbouring country has agreed to allow India to use the Chittagong port, about 75 km from Sabroom.

Tripura has 856 km long international border with Bangladesh which surrounds the state on three sides.

How much business can be carried out by the riverways through BD? Hope they are doing the cost-benefit and ecological analysis. Whats the status of Sittwe port in Myanmar?

I can not give you the exact numbers but the implication is favourable for both the country . Tripura waterways will be an added route to reach the Myanmar and also BD and eastern part of India I guess. The port in Myanmar was supposed to be constructed by now.But I guess it will be done by year end. May2015 was the last deadline.

We should help Tripura. They are our people. I find it amazing that there is a state in India whose 70 percent population is Bangladeshi origin, I mean who have gone there after 1947. Tripura is like little Bangladesh. Sitting inside the abdomen of Bangladesh.

Tripura will eventually be incorporated into a greater BD.

^^^ Is India such a soft state that even chingu mingu people covet our land?

Or do these people belong to some kind of imperialist ideologies (masked under religion in this case) where being violently retarded is part of the deal?

I think we know the answer.

And why would it be bad for us?

They are like our little brother, more so than West Bengal.

That I am yet to figure out, but that's the case always.

And then Bangladeshis will cry about Indians trolling them.

At least we keep to our part of the forum, while Indians do it all over this site.

Please educate yourself before opening your mouth.

India simply will disintegrate as it is a legal entity rather than a real nation state like France, Japan or BD.

France is the land of French ethnics
Japan is the land of Japanese ethnics
BD is the land of BD ethnics, where 90 per cent are Muslims.

India, on the other hand, is a mish-mash of different ethnicities glued together by Hinduism. We all
know that just having a common religion never works. Look at the examples of Muslim and Christian empires in the part.

Pretty much every multiethnic state has disintegrated in the past and India will be no different. When India distegrates then BD will be there to take West Bengal and NE states under it's wings - BD will also use the opportunity to capture Rakhine from those Myanmarese who don't deserve the land.
