Dhaka,
Jul 14 (UNB) - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said she would like India
to implement the Teesta project as it is related to the neighbouringcountry.
"But I would
prioritise that India will do it. India holds the water of Teesta River.... So,
they should do the project and they would give whatever is necessary here if
they do the project," she said.
The premier said this
replying to a question at a press conference arranged at her official residence
about the outcomes of her recent visit to China.
She said China has come
up with some offers and conducted a feasibility study about the Teesta project
and India has also given offers and will carry out a feasibility study.
She, however, said the
government will go for the proposal which will be suitable for Bangladesh after
completion of feasibility study by India.
