The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has refuted allegations that the recent flooding in eight districts of Bangladesh was caused by India. The accusations, primarily from students at Jagannath University (JnU) in Bangladesh, suggested that the floods were a result of India opening the sluice gates of Dumboor and Gazaldoba dams without prior notification to Dhaka. The MEA issued a statement clarifying that these claims are factually incorrect.
