Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal and All India Trinamool Congress (AITC) supremo, on Saturday addressed a letter to Prime Minster Narendra Modi regarding Bengal flood. She alleged that her government was not consulted on water release by the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC), reported PTI. Amid the worsening flood situation in the state, the West Bengal Chief Minister was prompted to pen another letter to PM Modi. The letter dated September 21 states, "While the hon'ble minister claims that the release from DVC dams was carried out by consensus and collaboration with the Damodar Valley Reservoir Regulation Committee, including consultations with representatives of the government of West Bengal, I may respectfully disagree."
