The Kushiyara River flows from

The correct answer is Assam to Bangladesh . In News India and Bangladesh are likely to ink at least one major river agreement later this August 2022. Apart from the major agreements under discussion, sharing of data on river waters and better flood control planning are expected to feature in the upcoming meeting of the Joint River Commission (JRC) that will meet in the last week of August ahead of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's 6 and 7 September India visit. Key Points Kushiyara River Kushiyara River originates in the state of Nagaland in India and picks up tributaries from Manipur, Mizoram and Assam. It forms on the India-Bangladesh border as a branch of the Barak River when the Barak separates into the Kushiyara and Surma. Kushiyara flows westward forming the boundary between Assam and the Sylhet District of Bangladesh. It flows between the towns of Zakigonj, Sylhet, and Karimganj, Assam, and after the village of Pānjipuri enters entirely into the Beanibazar Upazila of Bangladesh. Important Points India and Bangladesh have 54 transboundary rivers between them, all of which are part of the drainage system of the Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna basin. After the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the Joint River Commission was formed between India and Bangladesh in 1972. In a joint declaration issued on 16 May 1974, the PM of Bangladesh and India acknowledged the need for the flow augmentation of the Ganga in the lean season to meet the requirements of both countries. The Bangladesh government has been insistent on sealing the Teesta Waters Agreement, which has eluded settlement so far. The point of contention between India and Bangladesh is mainly the lean season flow in the Teesta draining into Bangladesh. India and Bangladesh have resolved border problems through the Land Boundary Agreement of 2015. However, both nations have locked horns over the sharing of multiple rivers that define the borders and impact lives and livelihoods on both sides.
