THE construction of a 'permanent' river embankment by Bangladesh at zero point along its border with India has set the alarm bells ringing in Tripura.

- PRASANTA MAZUMDAR @Guwahati

The construction is taking place between Bangladesh's Moulvibazar and Tripura's Unakoti districts. River Manu flows between them and it is feared that the situation in Unakoti could be devastating during the next flood.

Tripura officials said Bangladesh did not inform India before going ahead with the work. The construction is being seen as against the spirit of the Indo-Bangla Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Peace which does not allow any permanent construction on 150 yards from the zero point.
