Dhaka, Aug 10 - Bangladesh will seek talks with India to resolve the issues arising out of the latter's proposed Tipaimukh dam, and it was 'not a big problem', a minister has said.

State minister for Water Resources Mahbubur Rahman Sunday said a secretary-level meeting would be held between Bangladesh and India, if necessary.

'If the meeting fails, even higher level talks will be held to settle the matter,' The Daily Star quoted him as saying Monday.

He indicated a fresh move to send a delegation to India and formation of an experts' committee to deal with the issue.

The state minister said the government has taken 'positively' the anti-Tipaimukh Dam 'long march' by the opposition parties and the environmentalist groups.

'Now, it would be easy to show New Delhi that the people of Bangladesh are against the dam construction,' he added.

A Bangladeshi parliamentary team earlier this month twice attempted to land near the proposed dam site by helicopter, but failed due to inclement weather.

Sections of opinion makers here have said that the project over Barak river in India's Manipur state could harm the ecology of the lower riparian Bangladesh.
