Media coverage of our Memo on the Teesta valley disaster problem

On 18Nov2024, we had couriered the hard copies of our memo requesting urgent mitigation action in the Teesta valley in the few dry months we have before the monsoons again wreak havoc in 2025.

 'The Hindu' is an old and prominent national newspaper and I am very glad that they carried the Teesta Valley GLOF disaster story almost in its entirety:

Subsequently, we emailed the memo to Mr Rajendra Singh, Head of Dept NDMA and Mr D Nariala (IAS), PS of Disaster Management Department, Govt of W Bengal.
