In an ardent response to Pakistan over the threat that China will stop Brahmaputra to India, the main Minister Assam Hisant Bisw Sarma took the social media and called the brahmaputra “the river that grows in India”. The Chief Minister Assam also claimed that China contributed only 30-35 % of the total river flow, while the remaining is generated in India.
CM Himanta Bisw Sarma wrote: “What if China stops Brahmaputra water to India? Reaction to Pakistani New Story. After India definitely withdrew from the obsolete Indus Waters contract, now Pakistan spins another threat:” With fear, but with facts and national clarity: Brahmaputra: A river that grows in India – does not shrink. “”
Cm Sarma Wrote, ”China Contributes only ~ 30-35 Per Cent of the Brahmaputra’s Total Flow, Mostly Through Glacial Melt and Limited Tibetan Rainfall. The Remaining 65-70 Per Cent Is Generated Within India, Thanks to: *torrential monsoon Rainfall in ARUNACHAL PRADESH, ASSAM, NAGALAND, and Meghalaya *Major Tributaries Like Subansiri, Lohit, Kameng, Manas, Dhansiri, Jia-Bharali, Kopili *Other Infins from Khasi, Garo and Jaintia across rivers such as Krishnai, Digi and Kuls. “
“On the Indo-China border (Turing): The flow is ~ 2 000-3 000 m3/s. In Assam Plains (eg Guwahati): The river India depends on upstres on upstres.
“Even if China was to reduce the water flow (unlikely that China has never endaled or indicated on any official forum), it can help India to alleviate the annual Assam flood that displaces lakh and destroying every year and now Pakistan, which is 74 years old. It is not a panic.
Himanty Bisw Sarma comments came after Rana Ihsaan Afzal – head assistant Shehbaz Sharif – allegedly said that India had suspended the flow of the Indian Greeks to Pakistan and China can also do with India.
