India complies with the 1996 water-sharing treaty most of the time, but when it doesn’t Bangladesh takes a serious hit. Does this mean the countries are cooperating or not? Kimberley Thomas, August 18, 2017  Officially, India and Bangladesh share 54 rivers, but that number is currently under review. Between 10 to 16 additional rivers are now being conside

Heating up again AS an extreme summer engulfs the Indo-Gangetic plane

  0 comments   |     by Munir Akram

AS an extreme summer engulfs the Indo-Gangetic plane, the political temperature is also rising.
