This is as a result of Marginalization wallahi. Imagine Building SEVEN massive dams for irrigation, fishing and hydropower before the River reaches entry to NFD at Tula wells in Isiolo, Garissa Town, Tana River County to Lamu County. What we (the hosting community of Majority of the river) get...

#Bangladesh: India's Reckless Actions Are Worsening the Flood Crisis in Southeast Bangladesh For the first time in generations, Bangladesh's entire southeastern region is facing its worst flooding in history affecting millions of people. The cause? Indian authorities opened the gates of the Dumbur Reservoir in Tripura for the first time in three decades, releasing massive volumes of water into an already rain-soaked region. (Read: Could there have been flooding without India opening the Dumbur Reservoir gates? Perhaps yes, but on a significantly smaller scale. The sudden release of water from the dam has inundated the region to an extent it hasn't experienced in generations. International law obliges India to notify Bangladesh of any actions that could cause significant harm downstream. Yet, India's failure to notify Bangladesh before opening the gates has caused significant distress and damage. Unfortunately, the Dumbur Reservoir is just one of many dams India has built on the rivers that flow into Bangladesh. Of the 54 transboundary rivers shared between the two countries, India has constructed dams on at least 30 of them, with the Farakka Dam being the most infamous for its catastrophic impact on northern Bangladesh. India's unilateral construction of dams and its arbitrary control of water flows have become a constant threat to Bangladesh, causing either drought or flooding downstream. This reckless behavior has devastated millions of lives and wreaked havoc on the environment. For example, over 80% of Bangladesh's 20 million small farmers depend on water flowing through these transboundary rivers to grow rice. (Source: By inflicting such widespread damage, India is effectively breaching international law on a regular basis. Here are some of the key obligations that India is failing to uphold: 1) Under Articles 5 and 6 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses (1997), upstream and downstream countries have the right to equitably and reasonably utilize shared waters. 2) Article 7 of the 1997 Convention, along with customary international law, obliges upstream countries, like India, to prevent significant harm to downstream nations, such as Bangladesh. 3) The Espoo Convention (1991) and customary international law mandate that upstream countries notify and consult with downstream states before undertaking any activities that could significantly affect shared waters. Yet, India has consistently ignored these obligations and has never acknowledged the rights of Bangladesh and its people under international law. Despite these hostile actions, Indian officials continue to claim that they are friendly neighbors—yet they wonder why Bangladeshis hold such deep resentment against them. Is India truly a friendly neighbor to Bangladesh? Their actions speak louder than their words.

URGENT ALERT: Landslide Blocks Teesta River Near Chyakoong, Downstream Areas Placed on High Alert Mangan, September 6, 2026: A massive landslide occurred early this morning above the Chyakoong River, opposite OC Bhir in North Sikkim. Roughly half of the hillside collapsed into the gorge, temporarily blocking the flow of the Teesta River. District administration and emergency response teams were mobilised immediately after the incident. Police personnel from Chungthang Police Station and Theng Check Post were deployed to the site to monitor the stability of the affected area and the behaviour of the blocked water. Officials said water levels recorded at Sankalang and Phidang outposts remained normal in the hours after the landslide, though the river water had turned heavily turbid and muddy. Both outposts were placed on round-the-clock monitoring. Assessment teams also flagged a wider downstream risk. The landslide debris has formed a natural dam-like blockage on a river that joins the Teesta, located around 60 km upstream from Reang Kongma and 40 km upstream from Rangpo, near the West Bengal border. Officials said this could lead to increased water release from upstream, and warned that a breach of the naturally formed blockage could send a sudden surge of water downstream, first affecting the Tintek area in Sikkim before reaching parts of Kalimpong, Darjeeling, Jalpaiguri. According to sources, senior officials held discussions with officers posted downstream to prepare for possible evacuations in case of an emergency. The Police Control Room in Sikkim has been activated and high-alert has been issued warning o vulnerable habitations along the lower belt of the Teesta River basin. The public, workers, anglers and vehicle operators have been advised to stay away from the riverbed, avoid fishing, and refrain from crossing suspension bridges and footpaths along the river until further notice. People were also urged to stay updated through official channels and not to act on unverified rumours circulating on social media. The Teesta River has since resumed its flow following the temporary blockage. Authorities have confirmed this update, but have asked residents in downstream and lower belt areas to remain alert and exercise caution near the riverbanks. The public is advised to avoid going close to the river until the situation is confirmed to be completely safe. Further updates are awaited from ground assessment teams.
