JD(U)'s Sanjay Jha flags Bihar's water concerns, opposes renewal of Ganga water treaty with B'desh
JD(U) leader Sanjay Kumar Jha urged the Centre not to renew the Ganga water treaty. He alleged Bihar's water share has been stolen for three decades. The treaty signed in 1996 governs dry-season water flows at Farakka Barrage. Bangladesh receives 1,500 cumecs while Bihar gets only 400 cumecs. Jha linked silt accumulation to worsening flood situations in Bihar.
