Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said Bangladesh will not have to seek water from others if water could be reserved properly.
The prime minister said: “Bangladesh is a delta country. All rivers originated from the Himalayas flow through Bangladesh. If we take steps to preserve water, we won’t have to seek water from others.”
The premier said this while replying to a question from a journalist over Teesta water sharing at a press conference at her official residence Ganabhaban on Sunday.
The press conference was arranged to brief the journalists about the outcome of her recently wrapped up tri-nation visit.

“We have taken the Delta Plan, and we are dredging rivers,” she added.
“What will they do with the extra water? So, do not worry. They did not give us water but they are giving us electricity, which is also good,” the prime minister said.
All problems will be resolved one after another, the premier said adding: ”We have resolved difficult problems like the maritime boundary one. We have resolved the enclave problem in a friendly manner.”
