Arunachal CM Pema Khandu thanks Riga Village for backing 11,000 MW Siang Hydro Project
Khandu, X, “Riga, a step taken in larger national interests, the proposed Siang Upper Multi -Field Project (SUMP) for the preliminary feasibility report for the signing and support for the consent and support of the Mo.
Last month, Arunachal Pradesh Cabinet noted the concerns expressed by certain sections on the preparation of the preliminary feasibility report of the proposed Siang Multi -Purpose Project (Sump), which was declared as a ‘national project’ by the Indian government in 2008.
The cabinet also decided to ask the Indian Government to request a special development package for Siang and Upper Siang regions, including beneficial -oriented social development for twin regions.
The Tsangpo River is known as Siang in Arunachal Pradesh and Jamuna in Brahmaputra in Assam and Jamuna in Bangladesh, and flows from the neighboring country (Bangladesh) before joining the Gulf of Bengal.
Recently, the Arunachal Pradesh government expressed his concerns about the $ 137 billion hydroelectric dam project that will generate 60,000 MW electricity on the Siang River in China. The river with the potential to generate electricity up to 11,000 MW. He shared some observations made by experts on the environmental impacts in the region of such a large hydroelectric project on the Tsangpo River, if China built the dam on the Barik Tsangpo River and dries its water, it would be dried from its water and dry the water and dry the water. Assam and Bangladesh of the Brahmaputra River for irrigation of agricultural areas.
On the other hand, if any conflict arises between the two countries in the future, it can release large amounts of water from the dam, which causes unpredictable floods in the lower flow zones in Arunaçhal Pradesh and Assam.
The authority said that the effects of this large project on the Tsangpo River cannot be ignored by the Chinese government and that both cases claimed that people will be adversely affected. Given all these factors, the Upper Siang, the Indian government, proposed a multi -purpose project, a dam on the Siang River. The project is a very important initiative to reduce the effects of downflow floods on Arunaçhal Pradesh, Assem and Bangladesh and other environmental issues. The aim of the project is to deal with the safety and safety of downward people and other environmental problems.
He said that energy production is secondary and the project would be a by -product. During the lean period, if the project prevents the drying of the river water in Siang and released large volume water by China, the dam in the Siang River will be released in a controlled way and thus the flow of flow down and released the water in a controlled way.
