DHAKA: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday evening expressed his confidence about reaching a fair solution on Teesta and Feni rivers with the support of his country’s state governments.

Modi made the remark while addressing a joint press statement along with his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina at PMO in Dhaka.

He said, “I am confident that with the support of state governments in India, we can reach a fair solution on Teesta and Feni Rivers”.

“We should also work together to renew and clean our rivers.”

“Our rivers should nurture our relationship, not become a source of discord,” Modi said.

“Water sharing is, above all, a human issue. It affects life and livelihood on both sides of the border,” he added.
