Guwahati: Disappointed by Arunachal Pradesh’s continuous opposition in setting up the North East Water Resources Authority (NEWRA), Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi on Wednesday said his government has decided to drop the proposal for the regional water body.

The state government will now take steps to revamp the ailing Brahmaputra Board, he said, a day after meeting his Arunachal Pradesh counterpart Nabam Tuki here. Tuki has reportedly expressed his government’s reservation about having the NEWRA.
