Earlier, on Thursday (August 22), the Ministry of External Affairs of India issued a statement on the flood issue. It is said that the opening of Dambur Dam is being blamed for the flood in Bangladesh through various means. There is no basis for that saying. Because Dambur dam is 120 km upstream from Bangladesh border.

It is claimed that the water level of Gomti river has increased due to heavy rains in the last few days. That is why the surrounding area is flooded.

The statement also said that heavy rainfall has continued since August 21 in the entire Tripura and neighboring districts bordering Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, Delhi also gave a message about the international rivers within the two countries. Flooding in common rivers between India and Bangladesh is said to be a joint problem. which causes suffering to the people on both sides and requires close mutual cooperation to resolve it.

Earlier, various Indian media had reported that due to the opening of Dambur Dam, water has risen in the Gomti riparian area. Vast areas of Amarpur, Udaipur, Sonamura have been flooded. Sonamura is very close to Comilla border of Bangladesh.
