Teesta Water Dispute
text:
The Teesta Water Dispute is a longstanding issue between India and Bangladesh over the equitable sharing of the Teesta River’s water, which flows through both countries. The Teesta River, spanning 414 kilometers, originates in the Indian state of Sikkim and passes through West Bengal before entering Bangladesh, where it merges with the Brahmaputra River. The river is crucial for agriculture and irrigation, particularly in northern Bangladesh, where it supports the livelihoods of millions.
