[Assam] [WaterWatch] Brahmaputra Waterways

[mc mahant]

<The Government has declared three rivers/canal system>
 
Good to hear of Declarations. After 12 years- WHAT?
ALso Declared were All Rivers Interlinked(never mind- no interflows possible).
I am sure Advani's "Untold Stories" just presented to Sonia contains all these.
