Another dispute is mounting in Bihar, where Nepal has stopped repair work of the Gandak Dam on the Lal Bakaiya River which was previously underway to avoid the possibility of flooding. The construction was being done on the no man's land between the two countries. Bihar's Water Resources Minister, Sanjay Jha, said, "This type of problem is taking place for the first time and Nepal has stopped work in some areas. If the water level increases, there will be a lot of trouble in Bihar."
