India’s decision on Indus casts shadow on renewal of India-Bangladesh Ganga Water Treaty: Bangladesh water expert

✓ “Renewal of the Ganga treaty will come up next year but if India continues to hold the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance then it will create doubts about India’s willingness on sharing of river waters with Bangladesh”
