Flood situation: High Commissioner of India meets with Chief Adviser

Interim government chief advisor Professor Dr. Prannoy Kumar Verma, Indian High Commissioner appointed to Bangladesh, held a meeting with Muhammad Yunus. It is said that the ongoing flood situation and its various aspects and actions were discussed in the meeting.

The Indian High Commissioner visited the Rashtriya Guest House Yamuna on Thursday (August 22) at 4 pm. After that, he met with the chief advisor.

Earlier in the afternoon in a press briefing in front of the State Guest House Yamuna, Syeda Rizwana Hasan, Adviser on Environment, Forests and Climate Change and Water, gave information about the meeting of the Indian High Commissioner with the Chief Adviser.

He said, there will be a meeting of the Indian High Commissioner with the Chief Adviser to discuss what kind of advance warning we can get of such a terrible flood, whether we were warned in advance or not, what steps the states can take to deal with such situations in future.

Interim government's information advisor Nahid Islam spoke in that briefing. He said that the upstream water has reached Bangladesh and has created a flood situation. The dam was opened without any advance warning and preparation. Through this, India has shown inhumanity and non-cooperation with Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, in the morning, the Ministry of External Affairs of India said in a statement on the issue of floods in Bangladesh, that it is not true that the opening of the Dambur Dam is being blamed as the reason for the floods in Bangladesh. Because Dambur dam is 120 km upstream from Bangladesh border.
