Long march towards Dumboor Dam in Tripura on Sept 6

Inqilab Mancha, a student platform mainly based on Dhaka University (DU), on Friday announced a long march towards the Dumboor Dam in Tripura, India on September 6, in protest against the illegal and unilateral dams constructed by India on Bangladesh's cross-border rivers.

They said the march will begin at 9:00am from the Shahbag Intersection.

Besides, the Inqilab Mancha held a protest rally, Public Condemnation and Songs to Break, at the base of Raju Sculpture on the DU campus in the evening on Friday.

At this time, the protesters broke a symbolic dam, in protest against the illegal and unilateral dams constructed by India on Bangladesh's cross-border rivers.

The protesters said India has violated internationally recognised laws by creating obstacles along nearly all 54 river flows running through Bangladesh, diverting the massive water flow through artificial channels to higher regions for agricultural and other uses.

One of the organizers of the protest rally said, "It is now time to stand up against India's aggressive actions."
