Regarding embankment issue, Mr Srivastava said, repair and maintenance of embankments is being carried out regularly by the concerned state governments under the established mechanisms.

On Pakistan accusing India of instigating Karachi attacks, the spokesperson said, India rejects these absurd comments on terrorist attacks in Karachi.
