@Ana_13b @CMOfficeAssam What you have mentioned is just one of the many serious civic problems that have plagued the city of Guwahati of late. Lack of holistic planning may be counterproductive because more adverse side effects are created than benefits. #sustainable #urban planning

It is a nightmare to cross the saraigjat bridge, the road on the bridge is bad which is leading to heavy traffic, can it be resolved by simply repairing the road. Hope to get attention from @CMOfficeAssam

Our scientists Dr. PJ Das and Dr. Alolika Sinha met Gloria Berbena, Minister Councilor for Public Diplomacy, U.S. Embassy #NewDelhi, and Juan Clar, Deputy Director, American Center Kolkata, as a part of the Alumni exchange programme and interacted on potential collaborative work.

I believe that the Assam Government @CMOfficeAssam, can find a way to build the proposed overbridge without harming these old heritage trees near the #dighalipukhuri in Guwahati if it wants. Engineers can surely make an alternative design. youtu.be/wKZcH6XQsBo?si…

@PJDAssam trying to reach you. Pl revert. Thanks

Truth is stranger than fiction. Who could even imagine that such dishonour could be shown to the Bangabandhu in Bangladesh!

@icimod Similar situation here in Assam. The migration of young males in search of jobs to other parts of India has led to a shortage of agricultural labour force and several other social insecurities. Outmigration is significantly driven by #disaster #risk and #climatechange impacts.

Outmigration was one key reason that Bhutan’s rice production halving between 2019-and 2022, compounded by COVID-19.

📰 In the News The impact of temperature rise on water flow will be a central consideration of negotiations between Bangladesh and India over the renewal of the Ganga Waters Treaty, the @htTweets reports. Following Prime Minister @narendramodi's meeting with Bangladesh counterpart @StayWithHasina in New Delhi in June, @Rezhasan speaks to @ICIMOD’s Climate and Environmental Risk Lead @arunbshrestha about the new dynamics of water sharing in the context of the overheating Earth. “In the dynamic context of climate change, the Ganges Treaty necessitates recalibration," he quotes Shrestha as saying. "As river flows shift, adaptive water allocation becomes paramount—balancing equitable distribution with ecological resilience. Proactive flood management, guided by data-driven insights, should be incorporated. Robust data-sharing mechanisms, joint monitoring efforts, and science-based water allocation frameworks should be adopted to ensure sustainable water management and equitable resource distribution between India and Bangladesh.” Read the full story hindustantimes.com/india-news/ind… Download our recent river basin report on the Ganga and Brahmaputra icimod.org/river-basins-r… #WaterSharing #ClimateChange #SG1 #WaterManagement #RegionalCooperation
