Prime Minister and Leader of the House Tarique Rahman informed the National Parliament that the government is planning to construct another barrage on the Teesta River to conserve water during the dry season. He said that technical and financial aspects of the project are currently under examination at various stages. The announcement came on Wednesday in response to a question from NCP Member of Parliament Akhtar Hossain during a parliamentary session chaired by Speaker Hafiz Uddin Ahmed.
The Prime Minister added that a feasibility study for a sustainable and integrated development plan centered on the Teesta River has already been completed. The study report proposes the Teesta Master Plan, which includes 110 kilometers of riverbank protection, 110 kilometers of river dredging, 224 kilometers of flood control embankments with roads, construction and repair of 67 groynes or spurs, and recovery and development of 170 square kilometers of land.
The plan aims to ensure sustainable river management and enhance water resource utilization in the Teesta basin, though implementation details and timelines have not yet been disclosed.
