Talk of India opening Dumbur gate is just ‘misinformation’: Tripura minister

Tripura Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath has dismissed the claim that India’s opening of a dam gate without warning is what led to horrific flooding in Bangladesh.

“If they want to follow the proper procedures and cross the border into India, I will take them to the Dumbur Dam myself to show them that it is not correct that we opened the gate,” he told BBC Bangla.

“They can see for themselves whether we can open the gate ourselves! Whether such a thing is even possible!”

Tripura Power Minister Ratan says: “The propaganda being done about the opening of the Dumbur gate is nothing but misinformation. No gate has been opened at the Gomti Hydro Power Station.”_Agencies.
