No, because fighting between border police in the region will undoubtedly see the levees destroyed by explosions or gunfire.



Yes, because reparations will be paid to villagers who begin constructing defenses against rising tides for themselves, and the defenses will be made permanent.





No, because the material available for construction of the defenses is not strong enough to hold back the sea for long.



Yes, because India and Bangladesh are now in a partnership to share their technical knowledge to protect against rising floodwaters.
