Answer 1

The correct option is D 1, 2 and 3

Explanation:

• Point 1 is correct: Barak river also known as the Surma-Meghna river system is one of the major rivers of South Assam. As the river is a major transboundary river between India and Bangladesh, the proposal for this large dam raised concerns in lower riparian Bangladesh over the question of diminished flow in Surma-Kushiyara and especially the possible negative impact on the Haor region in Sylhet district (Assam).
• Point 2 is correct: Feni river is a river in South-Eastern Bangladesh. It originates in the South Tripura district, passes through Sabroom town on the Indian side, and meets the Bay of Bengal after it flows into Bangladesh.
• Point 3 is correct: The Teesta is a 414km long river flowing through the Indian states of West Bengal, Sikkim before going to the Bay of Bengal through Bangladesh. The dispute is about the sharing of the river Teesta. Bangladesh wants an equal share in the Teesta river.
