Despite protests from within India and Bangladesh, India is going ahead with the construction of the massive Tipaimukh barrage on the Barack river near the border, which will reduce the water flow in Surma and Kushiara rivers in Bangladesh. Onnesha.tk brings up this concern that by depriving Bangladesh of life-giving waters, the dam will effect adversely on millions of lives and result in desertification of vast areas.

This is very bad. India always try to show power. That is really bad.
India should be stopped the dam project.India is not a imperialist state . India is also pioneer of democracy
lets we all peoples of borak velly &government of bangladesh & 7 sister states of india should have to raise our voice against the tipaimukh dam, to protect the environment & eco-system. moreover this dam area is a earthquake risk area so dam project should be stoped.
Let’s say no to tipaimukh dam
no to tipaimukh dam.lets we all raise our hands……..
