No: --- Dated: Nov, 06 2019

The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has given ex-post facto approval for the MoU between India and Bangladesh on withdrawal of 1.82 cusecs of water from Feni River by India for drinking water supply scheme for Sabroom town Tripura, India.

Benefits:

          As on date, there is no water-sharing agreement on Feni river between India and Bangladesh.  The present supply of drinking water to Sabroom town is inadequate. The groundwater in this region has high iron content.  Implementation of this scheme would benefit over 7000 population of Sabroom town.
