Our scientists Dr. PJ Das and Dr. Alolika Sinha met Gloria Berbena, Minister Councilor for Public Diplomacy, U.S. Embassy #NewDelhi, and Juan Clar, Deputy Director, American Center Kolkata, as a part of the Alumni exchange programme and interacted on potential collaborative work.
I believe that the Assam Government @CMOfficeAssam, can find a way to build the proposed overbridge without harming these old heritage trees near the #dighalipukhuri in Guwahati if it wants. Engineers can surely make an alternative design. youtu.be/wKZcH6XQsBo?si=324F…

Truth is stranger than fiction. Who could even imagine that such dishonour could be shown to the Bangabandhu in Bangladesh!

The impact of temperature rise on water flow will be a central consideration of negotiations between Bangladesh and India over the renewal of the Ganga Waters Treaty, the @htTweets reports.
Following Prime Minister @narendramodi's meeting with Bangladesh counterpart @StayWithHasina in New Delhi in June, @Rezhasan speaks to @ICIMOD’s Climate and Environmental Risk Lead @arunbshrestha about the new dynamics of water sharing in the context of the overheating Earth.
“In the dynamic context of climate change, the Ganges Treaty necessitates recalibration," he quotes Shrestha as saying. "As river flows shift, adaptive water allocation becomes paramount—balancing equitable distribution with ecological resilience. Proactive flood management, guided by data-driven insights, should be incorporated. Robust data-sharing mechanisms, joint monitoring efforts, and science-based water allocation frameworks should be adopted to ensure sustainable water management and equitable resource distribution between India and Bangladesh.”
