China’s Mega-Dam: A Looming Threat to Northeast India
Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has issued a stark warning about a new threat emanating from China – a mega-dam under construction that could have devastating consequences for Northeast India.
A “Water Bomb” More Dangerous Than Military Threats
In a recent interview, CM Khandu described the dam as a potential “water bomb,” posing a greater threat than any military action. He emphasized the potential for widespread devastation to the lives and resources of the indigenous tribes inhabiting the border regions.
Impact on Tribal Communities and Resources
Khandu expressed deep concern about the dam’s potential impact on the delicate ecosystem of the region and the livelihoods of the tribal communities who depend on it. He stressed the urgent need to address this looming threat before it becomes a reality.
