"How Can We Fulfill So Many Demands from a 1.5-Year Government: Environment Adviser"

Syeda Rizwana Hasan, Adviser on Environment, Forest and Climate Change, and Water Resources, has said, "Local people are demanding a permanent embankment along the Teesta River. How can we fulfill so many demands from a government that’s only one and a half years old? The Teesta is our river. As a downstream country, we have rights over it. We’ve held public hearings at five locations along the Teesta River to explore how we can protect it with the involvement of local communities."
