Ganges waters talk may turn murky over politics, UN pact
Bangladesh and India have begun the process to renew a landmark agreement on sharing the waters of the Ganges, as analysts warn political disputes and uncertainty over Dhaka’s general election could complicate talks between the two neighbours.
