Arunachal Pradesh Witnesses Protests Against 1,605 MW Menga Hydropower Project

Residents and environmental activists in Arunachal Pradesh have taken to the streets to protest against the construction of the 1,605 MW Menga hydropower project. They argue that the project poses a significant threat to the region's fragile ecosystem and could lead to irreversible damage to local biodiversity. The protesters are demanding a thorough environmental impact assessment and a halt to the project until their concerns are addressed. The Menga project, if completed, would be one of the largest hydropower plants in the state, generating substantial electricity but raising concerns about its potential consequences.
