Assam sends Brahmaputra water samples for lab testing 
The Assam government has sent water samples from several points of the 891 kilometre Brahmaputra river for analysis to Hyderabad's Indian Institute of Chemical Technology and IIT Guwahati. This comes after Arunachal Pradesh MP Ninong Ering complained that Chinaâs construction of a 1000-km tunnel to divert water of the Brahmaputra had seriously affected water quality of the river.
