West Bengal and Bangladesh today discussed strategies on how to jointly fight natural disasters.
A Bangladeshi delegation led by Minister of Disaster Management and Relief Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya met West Bengal Minister of Disaster Management Javed Khan at the state secretariat Nabanna today.
Khan said climate, geography and culture are the same on both sides of the border and therefore they can work together on a number of issues.
"We discussed on how we can fight issues together. We shared with him how we have done it in many cases. Our early warning system in cases of quake, floods, cyclone have been effective," the Bangladesh minister said.
