Demanded formation of India-Bhutan river commission at Niti Aayog meet in Delhi: Mamata

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday told the assembly that she demanded the formation of an India-Bhutan river commission at the recent Niti Aayog meeting in Delhi. Banerjee said this while speaking on a resolution regarding erosion control and flood mitigation in her state. The CM also took exception to demands made by some BJP leaders over creating a union territory comprising two districts of Bengal and some in Bihar, and to make north Bengal a part of the northeast.

“I dare anyone to try to divide Bengal,” she asserted.
