Teesta river is lifeline of North Bengal: Mamata Banerjee
Following PM Narendra Modi and his Bangladeshi counterpart Sheikh Hasina's talks on river Teesta, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee asserted that Teesta is the lifeline of North Bengal and cannot be taken away. "Your problem is water, not Teesta...there are many other rivers in the area (India-Bangladesh), we can use water from them," Banerjee proposed.
