Indian Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh assured Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina that agreements on the Teesta Water and demarcation of land boundaries will soon become a reality.

Indian Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh who visited that country early this week assured Bangloadesh prime misinter about it.
Of course, there were concerns on Teesta and land boundary agreement that were raised by Bangladesh and I reassured the
Prime Minister that our government is committed to both these  agreements becoming a reality soon.
On the Teesta river treaty, which has been put on hold after  West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed some  reservations, Mr. Ramesh said he has assured Hasina that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is in touch with the West Bengal Chief  Minister to address the concerns raised by her.
He also informed press that they are working with the West Bengal Chief Minister to  address their concerns. He also added, We recognise the importance of the Teesta and Land Boundary Agreements."
On the Land Boundary Agreement, he said, We are hoping that  we will be able to introduce the Constitutional Amendment Bill  in the current session of Parliament. The Indian government has  to get the agreement ratified by Parliament before implementing  it as it involves exchange of land.

The agreement on demarcation of the border and exchange of enclaves, over which the two sides had reached an accord in 1974, will cover 111 enclaves in India and 51 on the other side in which about 51,000 people reside.
