Assam floods: China didn't share Brahmaputra hydrological data, says India
New Delhi, 18 AugustWith over three million people affected across 24 districts of Assam because of floods, which has left over 130-people dead, New Delhi today said China has not shared hydrological data with India during the current monsoon season. Under a 2006 agreement, China shares hydrological data, from May 15 to October 15, for Brahmaputra and Sutlej rivers every year.The Ministry of External Affairs, however, said it would be "premature" at the current juncture to connect China not sharing hydrological data as a fallout of New Delhi and Beijing's military stand-off in Doklam. The agreement was signed in 2006. The last meeting on the issue between the two sides was in June 2016. MoUs (Memorandums of Understanding) were also signed in 2013 and 2015. "China has to share the data periodically, even daily during the flooding period. But no data has been shared by the Chinese side this year," MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said. He said that data has not been shared could be to do .
