Timesofndtv : India, the victim of a four-pronged attack: After China and Nepal, Bhutan is also not paying attention this time
India is having a bad time. Pakistan has a perpetual hostile relationship. There have been intense tensions with China recently.
On the other hand, the small country Nepal is not paying attention to India. This time another small country Bhutan has been added. They and India have shut down much-needed pari.
In recent times, after China and Nepal, India has received negative treatment from its neighbor Bhutan.
More than 20 Indian soldiers have been killed by Chinese troops on the Indo-China border and Nepal's aggressive attitude towards India has not stopped, but neighboring Bhutan has blocked irrigation water to farmers in the Indian state of Assam.
According to a report in the South Asian Monitor, about 6,000 farmers in 28 revenue villages in Assam's Baksa district have been using Bhutanese artificial drainage water to irrigate their paddy fields. However, a few days ago, Bhutan stopped this water without giving any reason. This has provoked widespread anger against Bhutan in Assam.
Farmers' organizations in Assam's Baksa district also staged a protest against the Bhutanese government last Monday (June 23rd) for stopping water supply to Indian farmers.
Farmers say the Bhutanese government has been supplying water to farmers in Assam for nearly seven decades. They called on the Bhutanese government to continue supplying water to farmers in border villages.
One of the farmers who took part in the protest said that at this time of the year, farmers in the border areas enter the sea and take water from the Kalandi for irrigation.
However, this time due to the coronavirus epidemic, the Bhutanese government did not agree to allow any Indian farmer to enter Bhutan to fetch water from the canal.
