Mega hydropower project in Siang River opposed by Adi group
Pasighat: Amidst growing concerns over the proposed 11,000 MW Siang Upper Hydroelectric Project in Arunachal Pradesh, the Adi Bachao, a collective of Adi community members, is vehemently opposing the construction of a mega dam at the Parong portion of the Siang River.
The NHPC Ltd is spearheading the project, which has faced significant opposition from the local Adi community. According to Omuk Aje, the general secretary of Adi Bachao, the community is united in its resistance to any mega dam project in their area.
Aje expressed deep concerns about the potential ecological consequences of the dam, fearing that it could cause widespread devastation in the future.
The construction of the mega dam at Parong would inundate numerous villages and towns in Siang, East Siang, and Upper Siang districts, rendering hundreds of farm families landless, he said.
