India plans a 280-meter dam in disputed Arunachal Pradesh to secure water amid tensions with China over upstream dams.
India is planning a massive 280-meter dam in Arunachal Pradesh, a region claimed by China, to counter concerns over China’s upstream hydropower projects on the Yarlung Tsangpo River.
The dam, intended to store 9.2 billion cubic meters of water, aims to ensure water security and prevent potential sudden releases that India fears could be weaponized.
While India emphasizes the project’s defensive purpose over power generation, local Adi tribal communities oppose it, fearing displacement and cultural loss.
China denies any intent to harm downstream nations.
The project remains in planning stages amid ongoing border tensions and environmental and social concerns.
