Assam's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, recently voiced serious concerns regarding China's plans to build a dam on the Brahmaputra River in Tibet. He emphasized that the construction of this dam would significantly deteriorate the river's ecosystem, making it "fragile and dry," and would force Assam to rely solely on rainwater sourced from Arunachal Pradesh and Bhutan for its needs.
During a press conference, Sarma informed that this topic is already being taken into consideration, and the Indian government has formally communicated its apprehensions to China. He expressed confidence that the Indian side would bring up this critical issue in the ongoing diplomatic talks with the Chinese government. Additionally, Sarma mentioned that Pema Khandu, the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, has also raised similar concerns with the central government. Reports indicate that China is set to construct what would be the largest dam in the world on the Brahmaputra River, generating significant unease among neighboring countries, particularly India, which is downstream.
