India, Bangladesh finalise deal on Teesta, Feni river waters

• New Delhi and Dhaka have agreed to sign a 15-year interim accord on sharing the waters of common rivers Teesta and Feni.
• The agreement is expected to be signed during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Dhaka this year.
• However, both Secretaries declined to divulge the formula of water sharing under the pact — a second major one after the Ganges Water Sharing Treaty signed during the erstwhile Awami League government.
