&lt;em&gt;The 10,000-megawatt project on the Siang river would &amp;lsquo;submerge the district headquarters of Upper Siang district&amp;rsquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On September 26, a delegation of the Arunachal Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu attended a presentation in Delhi by the Central government think tank Niti Aayog &amp;ldquo;on [a] proposed Multipurpose River Valley Project for Siang River&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Siang is the Brahmaputra&amp;rsquo;s main tributary that connects to the Yarlung Tsangpo, as the Brahmaputra is known in Tibet where it originates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A press statement issued by Khandu&amp;rsquo;s office later that day said the proposed project in the state&amp;rsquo;s Upper Siang district was &amp;ldquo;estimated to be a 300-metre-high dam with power generation capacity of 10,000 megawatts&amp;rdquo; &amp;ndash; the biggest ever in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will replace two relatively smaller previously planned projects, Siang Upper Stage-I and Stage-II, and be built on the site earmarked for the latter. The Siang Upper Stage-I was to have an assigned capacity of 6,000 megawatts and Stage-2 of 3,750 megawatts. The new project will not only exceed their combined capacity but will reduce the project cost by 25%, according to the Niti Aayog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listing the benefits from the project, the state government&amp;rsquo;s press note stated:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;The state will benefit through its 12% free power share that comes to about Rs 2,400 crores per annum as revenue. Another Rs 200 crores per annum will be added through its 1% free power share, which will be used exclusively for local area development. Besides Rs 4,500 crores proposed for R&amp;amp;R [rehabilitation and resettlement] package, the project will attract an investment of about Rs 80,000 crores with huge employment generation and creation of several economic opportunities.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Opposition, scepticism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, indigenous communities in the region have vehemently opposed the project, saying it will swallow large tracts of farm land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khandu is reported to have told Niti Aayog chief Amitabh Kant that &amp;ldquo;people in the state carry lots of negative notions regarding large dams&amp;rdquo;. The chief minister&amp;rsquo;s office quoted him as saying, &amp;ldquo;Sometimes, opposition to dam is fuelled by narrow vested political interests and people being gullible fall prey to misinformation.&amp;rdquo; Khandu reportedly suggested that the Niti Aayog visit the state, meet the people and &amp;ldquo;understand the nature of their opposition&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The 10,000-megawatt project on the Siang river would &amp;lsquo;submerge the district headquarters of Upper Siang district&amp;rsquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On September 26, a delegation of the Arunachal Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu attended a presentation in Delhi by the Central government think tank Niti Aayog &amp;ldquo;on [a] proposed Multipurpose River Valley Project for Siang River&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Siang is the Brahmaputra&amp;rsquo;s main tributary that connects to the Yarlung Tsangpo, as the Brahmaputra is known in Tibet where it originates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A press statement issued by Khandu&amp;rsquo;s office later that day said the proposed project in the state&amp;rsquo;s Upper Siang district was &amp;ldquo;estimated to be a 300-metre-high dam with power generation capacity of 10,000 megawatts&amp;rdquo; &amp;ndash; the biggest ever in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will replace two relatively smaller previously planned projects, Siang Upper Stage-I and Stage-II, and be built on the site earmarked for the latter. The Siang Upper Stage-I was to have an assigned capacity of 6,000 megawatts and Stage-2 of 3,750 megawatts. The new project will not only exceed their combined capacity but will reduce the project cost by 25%, according to the Niti Aayog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listing the benefits from the project, the state government&amp;rsquo;s press note stated:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;The state will benefit through its 12% free power share that comes to about Rs 2,400 crores per annum as revenue. Another Rs 200 crores per annum will be added through its 1% free power share, which will be used exclusively for local area development. Besides Rs 4,500 crores proposed for R&amp;amp;R [rehabilitation and resettlement] package, the project will attract an investment of about Rs 80,000 crores with huge employment generation and creation of several economic opportunities.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Opposition, scepticism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, indigenous communities in the region have vehemently opposed the project, saying it will swallow large tracts of farm land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khandu is reported to have told Niti Aayog chief Amitabh Kant that &amp;ldquo;people in the state carry lots of negative notions regarding large dams&amp;rdquo;. The chief minister&amp;rsquo;s office quoted him as saying, &amp;ldquo;Sometimes, opposition to dam is fuelled by narrow vested political interests and people being gullible fall prey to misinformation.&amp;rdquo; Khandu reportedly suggested that the Niti Aayog visit the state, meet the people and &amp;ldquo;understand the nature of their opposition&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The 10,000-megawatt project on the Siang river would &amp;lsquo;submerge the district headquarters of Upper Siang district&amp;rsquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On September 26, a delegation of the Arunachal Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu attended a presentation in Delhi by the Central government think tank Niti Aayog &amp;ldquo;on [a] proposed Multipurpose River Valley Project for Siang River&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Siang is the Brahmaputra&amp;rsquo;s main tributary that connects to the Yarlung Tsangpo, as the Brahmaputra is known in Tibet where it originates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A press statement issued by Khandu&amp;rsquo;s office later that day said the proposed project in the state&amp;rsquo;s Upper Siang district was &amp;ldquo;estimated to be a 300-metre-high dam with power generation capacity of 10,000 megawatts&amp;rdquo; &amp;ndash; the biggest ever in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will replace two relatively smaller previously planned projects, Siang Upper Stage-I and Stage-II, and be built on the site earmarked for the latter. The Siang Upper Stage-I was to have an assigned capacity of 6,000 megawatts and Stage-2 of 3,750 megawatts. The new project will not only exceed their combined capacity but will reduce the project cost by 25%, according to the Niti Aayog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listing the benefits from the project, the state government&amp;rsquo;s press note stated:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;The state will benefit through its 12% free power share that comes to about Rs 2,400 crores per annum as revenue. Another Rs 200 crores per annum will be added through its 1% free power share, which will be used exclusively for local area development. Besides Rs 4,500 crores proposed for R&amp;amp;R [rehabilitation and resettlement] package, the project will attract an investment of about Rs 80,000 crores with huge employment generation and creation of several economic opportunities.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Opposition, scepticism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, indigenous communities in the region have vehemently opposed the project, saying it will swallow large tracts of farm land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khandu is reported to have told Niti Aayog chief Amitabh Kant that &amp;ldquo;people in the state carry lots of negative notions regarding large dams&amp;rdquo;. The chief minister&amp;rsquo;s office quoted him as saying, &amp;ldquo;Sometimes, opposition to dam is fuelled by narrow vested political interests and people being gullible fall prey to misinformation.&amp;rdquo; Khandu reportedly suggested that the Niti Aayog visit the state, meet the people and &amp;ldquo;understand the nature of their opposition&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;The 10,000-megawatt project on the Siang river would &amp;lsquo;submerge the district headquarters of Upper Siang district&amp;rsquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On September 26, a delegation of the Arunachal Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu attended a presentation in Delhi by the Central government think tank Niti Aayog &amp;ldquo;on [a] proposed Multipurpose River Valley Project for Siang River&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Siang is the Brahmaputra&amp;rsquo;s main tributary that connects to the Yarlung Tsangpo, as the Brahmaputra is known in Tibet where it originates.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A press statement issued by Khandu&amp;rsquo;s office later that day said the proposed project in the state&amp;rsquo;s Upper Siang district was &amp;ldquo;estimated to be a 300-metre-high dam with power generation capacity of 10,000 megawatts&amp;rdquo; &amp;ndash; the biggest ever in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It will replace two relatively smaller previously planned projects, Siang Upper Stage-I and Stage-II, and be built on the site earmarked for the latter. The Siang Upper Stage-I was to have an assigned capacity of 6,000 megawatts and Stage-2 of 3,750 megawatts. The new project will not only exceed their combined capacity but will reduce the project cost by 25%, according to the Niti Aayog.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Listing the benefits from the project, the state government&amp;rsquo;s press note stated:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;The state will benefit through its 12% free power share that comes to about Rs 2,400 crores per annum as revenue. Another Rs 200 crores per annum will be added through its 1% free power share, which will be used exclusively for local area development. Besides Rs 4,500 crores proposed for R&amp;amp;R [rehabilitation and resettlement] package, the project will attract an investment of about Rs 80,000 crores with huge employment generation and creation of several economic opportunities.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Opposition, scepticism&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
However, indigenous communities in the region have vehemently opposed the project, saying it will swallow large tracts of farm land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khandu is reported to have told Niti Aayog chief Amitabh Kant that &amp;ldquo;people in the state carry lots of negative notions regarding large dams&amp;rdquo;. The chief minister&amp;rsquo;s office quoted him as saying, &amp;ldquo;Sometimes, opposition to dam is fuelled by narrow vested political interests and people being gullible fall prey to misinformation.&amp;rdquo; Khandu reportedly suggested that the Niti Aayog visit the state, meet the people and &amp;ldquo;understand the nature of their opposition&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>The 10,000-megawatt project on the Siang river would &lsquo;submerge the district headquarters of Upper Siang district&rsquo;.<br />
</em><br />
On September 26, a delegation of the Arunachal Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu attended a presentation in Delhi by the Central government think tank Niti Aayog &ldquo;on [a] proposed Multipurpose River Valley Project for Siang River&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
The Siang is the Brahmaputra&rsquo;s main tributary that connects to the Yarlung Tsangpo, as the Brahmaputra is known in Tibet where it originates.<br />
<br />
A press statement issued by Khandu&rsquo;s office later that day said the proposed project in the state&rsquo;s Upper Siang district was &ldquo;estimated to be a 300-metre-high dam with power generation capacity of 10,000 megawatts&rdquo; &ndash; the biggest ever in India.<br />
<br />
It will replace two relatively smaller previously planned projects, Siang Upper Stage-I and Stage-II, and be built on the site earmarked for the latter. The Siang Upper Stage-I was to have an assigned capacity of 6,000 megawatts and Stage-2 of 3,750 megawatts.

</em><br />
<em>Opposition, scepticism<br />
</em><br />
However, indigenous communities in the region have vehemently opposed the project, saying it will swallow large tracts of farm land.<br />
<br />
Khandu is reported to have told Niti Aayog chief Amitabh Kant that &ldquo;people in the state carry lots of negative notions regarding large dams&rdquo;. The chief minister&rsquo;s office quoted him as saying, &ldquo;Sometimes, opposition to dam is fuelled by narrow vested political interests and people being gullible fall prey to misinformation.&rdquo; Khandu reportedly suggested that the Niti Aayog visit the state, meet the people and &ldquo;understand the nature of their opposition&rdquo;.<br />

The Centre's proposal to build a mega dam in Arunachal Pradesh makes even hydropower companies wary -Arunabh Saikia

-Scroll.in The 10,000-megawatt project on the Siang river would ‘submerge the district headquarters of Upper Siang district’. On September 26, a delegation of the Arunachal Pradesh government led by Chief Minister Pema Khandu attended a presentation in Delhi by the Central government think tank Niti Aayog “on [a] proposed Multipurpose River Valley Project for Siang River”. The Siang is the Brahmaputra’s main tributary that connects to the Yarlung Tsangpo, as the Brahmaputra is known in Tibet where it originates. A press statement issued by Khandu’s office later that day said the proposed project in the state’s Upper Siang district was “estimated to be a 300-metre-high dam with power generation capacity of 10,000 megawatts” – the biggest ever in India. It will replace two relatively smaller previously planned projects, Siang Upper Stage-I and Stage-II, and be built on the site earmarked for the latter. The Siang Upper Stage-I was to have an assigned capacity of 6,000 megawatts and Stage-2 of 3,750 megawatts. The new project will not only exceed their combined capacity but will reduce the project cost by 25%, according to the Niti Aayog. Listing the benefits from the project, the state government’s press note stated:     “The state will benefit through its 12% free power share that comes to about Rs 2,400 crores per annum as revenue. Another Rs 200 crores per annum will be added through its 1% free power share, which will be used exclusively for local area development. Besides Rs 4,500 crores proposed for R&R [rehabilitation and resettlement] package, the project will attract an investment of about Rs 80,000 crores with huge employment generation and creation of several economic opportunities.” Opposition, scepticism However, indigenous communities in the region have vehemently opposed the project, saying it will swallow large tracts of farm land. Khandu is reported to have told Niti Aayog chief Amitabh Kant that “people in the state carry lots of negative notions regarding large dams”. The chief minister’s office quoted him as saying, “Sometimes, opposition to dam is fuelled by narrow vested political interests and people being gullible fall prey to misinformation.” Khandu reportedly suggested that the Niti Aayog visit the state, meet the people and “understand the nature of their opposition”.
