Arunachal Hydro Project to Cut Down Over 100,000 Trees

The Arunachal hydroelectric project, a major development initiative in the northeastern state, is expected to clear over 100,000 trees. The project aims to harness hydroelectric power but environmentalists warn about the loss of forest cover and biodiversity. The government says the project will bring energy and development to the region, boosting local economies. Environmental groups call for mitigation measures and stricter environmental assessments.
