India and its Neighbours: Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina virtually inaugurated the India-Bangladesh Friendship Pipeline. About the Project: It will bring diesel from Assam’s Numaligarh refinery’s marketing depot in Siliguri to Parbatipur in northern Bangladesh. Out of the total length of the pipeline, Bangladesh has 126.57 km and India has five kilometres. Many countries in the world are suffering from energy insecurity because of the Russia-Ukraine war, but this pipeline will help our people, said PM Sheikh Hasina.
