2 advisers talk Teesta, Tipai with Indian ministers

OUR CORRESPONDENT, New Delhi
Teesta river water-sharing, Tipaimukh power project and implementation of land boundary accord were among a range of bilateral issues which figured in dis-cussions between Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's advisers and four federal Indian ministers here yesterday.
Cooperation in power sector and security also figured when the advisers Gowher Rizvi and Mashiur Rahman met Indian Power Minister M Veerappa Moily and National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon.
Rizvi and Rahman, who are assigned to deal with Bangladesh's relations with India, also met Water Resources Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh, sources told The Daily Star.
During the meetings, the entire range of bilateral issues, particularly a review of the progress in implementing the agreements signed during Hasina's visit to India in January 2010 and her Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh's to Dhaka in September last year, came up for deliberations.
The stress in the meetings was on how much ground the two sides have covered and how much remains to be covered as far as operationalising the agreements is concerned, said the sources.
The two advisers also wanted to know from the Indian leadership the latest status about the proposed Teesta water-sharing and implementation of the agreement on land boundary demarcation and exchange of 111 adversely held enclaves.
The sources declined to share the details of what transpired at the meetings Rizvi and Rahman had with the ministers but claimed the talks were "positive".
Manmohan Singh had recently conveyed to Hasina
at a meeting on the sidelines of Non-Aligned Movement Summit in Tehran that the Teesta treaty would be signed and the land boundary agreement implemented as soon as feasible as India is continuing internal consultations on the issues.
Regarding Tipaimukh, Singh had assured Hasina that India would not do anything that will harm the interests of Bangladesh.
The advisers also called on Indian President Pranab Mukherjee and greeted him on his election as the head of state.
They conveyed to Mukherjee greetings from Bangladesh President Zillur Rahman and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. Mukherjee too reciprocated the greetings.
