“We are trying to get more details both from the government and from our mission and depending upon the report we get, we will be able to make an assessment and take appropriate steps,” Krishna told a TV channel.
Krishna said he had seen a media report about China's plans to divert the Brahmaputra waters, but said the question comes up “off and on”.
