The sharing of the Teesta river waters will top the agenda of the India-Bangladesh Joint River Commission meeting which begins in New Delhi this after noon. The two sides will try to thrash out differences on the system to be adopted to decide on the actual availability of water in the Teesta river apart from discussing other issues. During the two-day meeting, Water Resources Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal will meet his Bangladeshi counterpart Ramesh Chandra Sen. Ahead of the meeting, the water secretaries of the two countries are meeting in the forenoon to discuss the agenda. The Prime Minister of the two countries after their talks in New Delhi in January this year had given directions for holding of the Joint Commission meeting and concluding the Teesta river sharing talks at the earliest in view of the suffering of the people on both sides because of scarcity of lean season flows of the river. The Commission which was set up in 1972 is the highest forum for resolution of disputes on sharing waters of common rivers between the two countrie. AIR correspondent says that the meeting of the Commission which is being held after a gap of almost five years may also take up the review of the 1996 Ganga Treaty and information sharing of the flood forecast.
