Patna, (Bihar Times): Former Bihar chief minister Jagannath Mishra said that the only way to find a permanent solution to the Kosi river issue was to develop an understanding with Nepal.
Speaking at a function organized in New Delhi on Sunday to inaugurate Akhil Bhartia Nav Nirman Manch, a non-political organization for the development of Mithilanchal he said the biggest problem of north Bihar is that it is necessary to have the consent of Nepal for a permanent solution to the Kosi-river issue as mounting pressure on that country is likely to backfire.
The people of Nepal are very different. India should resolve the Kosi river issue with the country by taking it to an international platform
The Chairman of the Special Task Force on Development of Bihar, Planning Commission, Satish Chandra Jha, said that Bihar
and Jharkhand are close to achieving an understanding for acquiring the land needed to set up three new power plants in Bihar.
