Sikkim Group Launches 4-Day Teesta Rights March to Review Hydropower Projects

An environmental group based in Sikkim has announced that it will conduct a four‑day march called "Teesta Rights" to call for a review of hydropower projects on the Teesta River. The march is aimed at drawing attention to the ecological concerns surrounding the river and its surrounding ecosystems. The group has urged state authorities to re‑examine the impact of existing and proposed hydropower developments. While details on the exact route and dates have not yet been released, the initiative signals growing local pressure on energy projects that affect the river's flow and biodiversity.
