The share of the Teesta water has remained a longstanding, thorny bilateral issue between Bangladesh and India. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s government is keen to resolve the matter as the country heads to a national election in December. The prime minister said the Teesta water sharing issue had been the sole point of ‘dissatisfaction’ in the Indo-Bangladesh bilateral cooperation. The prime minister said she was “satisfied” with the progress of projects under the $7.5 billion Indian line of credit (LOC). So you (India) must not worry,” Prime Minister Hasina said.
