Geku Residents Oppose Proposed Siang Dam, Question PFR

In the remote village of Geku, residents have rallied against the proposed Siang Dam, citing concerns over environmental impact and displacement. Local leaders have called for a thorough review of the Project Feasibility Report (PFR) before any construction proceeds. The government's push for the PFR has been met with skepticism, as villagers fear that the report may overlook critical socio‑economic factors. The opposition reflects growing apprehension among communities along the Siang River about large‑scale hydroelectric projects. Authorities have yet to respond to the community's demands for a transparent assessment.
