#Bangladesh: India's Reckless Actions Are Worsening the Flood Crisis in Southeast Bangladesh
For the first time in generations, Bangladesh's entire southeastern region is facing its worst flooding in history affecting millions of people. The cause? Indian authorities opened the gates of the Dumbur Reservoir in Tripura for the first time in three decades, releasing massive volumes of water into an already rain-soaked region.

Could there have been flooding without India opening the Dumbur Reservoir gates? Perhaps yes, but on a significantly smaller scale. The sudden release of water from the dam has inundated the region to an extent it hasn't experienced in generations.
International law obliges India to notify Bangladesh of any actions that could cause significant harm downstream. Yet, India's failure to notify Bangladesh before opening the gates has caused significant distress and damage.
Unfortunately, the Dumbur Reservoir is just one of many dams India has built on the rivers that flow into Bangladesh. Of the 54 transboundary rivers shared between the two countries, India has constructed dams on at least 30 of them, with the Farakka Dam being the most infamous for its catastrophic impact on northern Bangladesh.
India's unilateral construction of dams and its arbitrary control of water flows have become a constant threat to Bangladesh, causing either drought or flooding downstream. This reckless behavior has devastated millions of lives and wreaked havoc on the environment. For example, over 80% of Bangladesh's 20 million small farmers depend on water flowing through these transboundary rivers to grow rice. (Source: https://t.co/t0Fo6jP5bP)
By inflicting such widespread damage, India is effectively breaching international law on a regular basis. Here are some of the key obligations that India is failing to uphold:
1) Under Articles 5 and 6 of the UN Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses (1997), upstream and downstream countries have the right to equitably and reasonably utilize shared waters.
2) Article 7 of the 1997 Convention, along with customary international law, obliges upstream countries, like India, to prevent significant harm to downstream nations, such as Bangladesh.
3) The Espoo Convention (1991) and customary international law mandate that upstream countries notify and consult with downstream states before undertaking any activities that could significantly affect shared waters.
Yet, India has consistently ignored these obligations and has never acknowledged the rights of Bangladesh and its people under international law.
Despite these hostile actions, Indian officials continue to claim that they are friendly neighbors—yet they wonder why Bangladeshis hold such deep resentment against them.
Is India truly a friendly neighbor to Bangladesh? Their actions speak louder than their words.
Life-Saving Weather Forecast for the People of Chittagong and the Chittagong Hill Tracts
There is a strong possibility of devastating floods like those in 2023 and deadly landslides similar to those in 2017 in Chittagong and the Chittagong Hill Tracts.
The rain is gradually moving towards the districts of Chittagong and the Chittagong Hill Tracts from the direction of Comilla, Feni, and the Tripura state. However, there is a strong likelihood of continuous rain over Comilla and Feni districts for at least another 6 to 12 hours. Starting from 5 AM today and continuing throughout the day, there is almost a 100% chance of heavy to very heavy rain over the districts of Chittagong, Rangamati, Khagrachari, Bandarban, and Cox's Bazar. This heavy rain is likely to continue for at least 6 to 12 hours.
As a result, residents near the banks of all rivers, including Sangu, Karnaphuli, Halda, Naf, Ichamati, Matamuhuri, must seek safe shelter as soon as the sun rises. Shopkeepers along the riverbanks should quickly move their goods to safety. There is a strong possibility of severe flash floods similar to those in 2023.
Starting from today, Thursday, there is a significant risk of widespread landslides in the districts of Chittagong and the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Deadly landslides, similar to those in 2017, are highly likely in these areas. People living on steep hills or on the slopes of cut hills must be moved to safe shelters before noon today. Not a single life should be lost due to landslides.

The lower the temperature of the cloud tops, the higher the altitude of the clouds and the heavier the rainfall in that area. The video below shows the rotation of the clouds from 7 AM to 4 PM today.

This is really, really important work by @RumorScanner . Debunking the rumours about extreme communal, anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh. Yes, following the ouster of Sheikh Hasina, there was a law and order vacuum in the country, which was filled with retributive, opportunistic and communal attacks, but nothing like the level set out the false propaganda emanating from Indian social media.
আমরা বাংলাদেশের হিন্দুরা এখন শান্তিতে আছি এতদিন খুনি হাসিনা ছাত্রলীগ যুবলীগ ভাড়া করে আমাদের বাড়ি ঘর মন্দিরে আগুন লাগা তো নাম দিতে মুসলমানের আমাদের ছাত্র জনতা আমাদেরকে স্বাধীন বাংলাদেশ স্বাধীন বাংলাদেশ বুকের রক্ত দিয়ে আবার ফিরিয়ে দিয়েছে খুনি হাসিনার পতন হয়েছে
