What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The Expert Appraisal Committee recommended diverting 2,733 hectares of forest land for the 1,605 MW Subansiri Upper Hydroelectric Project in Arunachal Pradesh, despite flagging concerns over the impact on biodiversity and forest structure. Separately, the proposed Upper Siang Multipurpose Project (SUMP) is framed by New Delhi as a security measure against China’s Yarlung Tsangpo works. SUMP, an 11,000 MW storage dam, could uproot approximately 100,000 people.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

These projects represent massive national infrastructure investments aimed at energy generation. The projects involve significant land diversion and displacement, with the Subansiri Upper project alone affecting 570 families. The construction also introduces hazards such as reservoir-triggered quakes and GLOF risk.
