The Tribesmen of Arunachal Pradesh have voiced opposition to a proposed mega-dam project planned in the region. This initiative is viewed as a defensive measure undertaken in response to China’s ongoing development on the Brahmaputra River. The Tribesmen are concerned about potential displacement of their communities and the impact on traditional land use patterns. The project aims to mitigate water levels and enhance hydroelectric power generation, but the long-term implications for the region’s cultural heritage and traditional livelihoods are subjects of ongoing debate. The state government has indicated it will continue to assess the project’s environmental and social impact.
