    How was this island (marked with the red arrow) in the news recently?


    Ans. Soofi says - 


    For nearly 30 years, India and Bangladesh have argued over control of a tiny rock island in the Bay of Bengal. Now rising sea levels have resolved the dispute for them: the island has gone.

    New Moore island in the Sunderbans has been completely submerged.

    It is the South Talpatti Island which was has been erased due to climate change.

    Though the island was uninhabited and there were no permanent settlements or stations located on the island, both India and Bangladesh claimed sovereignty over it because of speculation over the existence of oil and natural gas beneath the island's shores.

    this is the New Moore Island (or South Talpatti Island for B'desh), the landmass which was the reason of dispute between India & B'desh. Both claimed it to be theirs. But this problem was solved by global warming after the island disappeared under the sea recently.

    New Moore island. It was disputed by both India and Bangladesh to be within their territories. The Island recently disappeared bringing an end to the problem.
    (I wish a country to the west of ours disappears similarly, it'll solve the world's problems)
