December 12, 2021
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Uttam Sinha’s opinion piece on ‘25-years of Ganga Treaty’ was published in Hindustan Times, on December 12, 2021.
Twenty-five years ago, in New Delhi, Prime Ministers (PMs) HD Deve Gowda and Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh signed a treaty on the sharing of the Ganga waters at Farraka. The governments viewed the treaty, valid for 30 years, as an outcome that would bolster future cooperation, says Dr. Sinha.
