Dhaka, June 23: Bangladesh's main opposition leader Khaleda Zia has written a letter to Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh demanding that India should stop building the Tipaimukh dam in its north-eastern region.
The Tipaimukh dam on the Barak river is in India's Manipur state.
Zia dispatched the letter Monday, The Daily Star newspaper said. The letter was sent a day after India said that it had 'consulted' Bangladesh on the project and would not do anything to harm the environment of the region.
Details of Zia's letter to Singh were not released. The two last met in March 2006, when Zia was the Bangladesh prime minister.
