The 'Teesta River', which originates from the Pahunri glacier, is a major tributary of which river system before flowing into the Brahmaputra?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The Teesta River flows through Sikkim and West Bengal before entering Bangladesh, where it empties into the Jamuna channel of the Brahmaputra system, though historical river shifts linked it closer to the Padma. Neighboring basins like the Ganga main stem or the Meghna estuary do not receive the direct confluence of the Teesta. This river remains a subject of ongoing geopolitical water-sharing negotiations between India and Bangladesh.
