In a statement issued to the press on Saturday, AGP spokesperson Manoj Saikia said: “The water of the Brahmaputra being turbid is a direct threat to the biodiversity of the river, states and countries beside it. This is something that has worried riparian communities whose lives are synonymous with the might river. This is why we’ve requested the State Government to take up the matter seriously and conduct a high-level inquiry to ascertain the reasons behind the turbidity.”
