China has started constructing a huge dam on the Brahmaputra River in South-East Tibet near the border of India. This is the same project that was approved in December 2024. Now China has also laid its foundation stone. Chinese Prime Minister Lee Kiang participated in the foundation stone program of this dam project. The program took place in the Ningchi region of Tibet, which is very close to the border of Arunachal Pradesh.
The Chief Minister of Arunachal expressed concern
Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu had warned a few days ago that China is making ‘water bomb’ on the Brahmaputra river. He said that this project could become a serious threat to India’s security and existence.
China will spend $ 167 billion
China is going to spend around $ 167 billion on this project. It includes five hydropower stations. It is being told that it will produce so much electricity as it is more than the three gorges dam built on the Yangtji River.
China has linked this project to the development of Tibet region and becoming carbon neutral. According to government media, this will also meet the local power needs of Tibet.
India had already raised objection
India had expressed concern about this project in January this year. The Ministry of External Affairs had urged China to ensure that there is no negative impact in the low -lying areas of Brahmaputra. In response, China claimed that this project is safe and no one would be harmed.
What will be the effect on India?
The formation of this dam may affect the northeastern states of India, such as Arunachal Pradesh and Assam. If China stops water or its flow changes, then there may be problems like floods or droughts in the northeastern states of India.
Bangladesh can also be affected
This river leaves Tibet to India and then to Bangladesh. In such a situation, this project can also affect Bangladesh. At the same time, Chief Minister Khandu said that China has not signed any international water treaty so far. In such a situation, it is difficult to trust him. He warned that no one knows what China can do.
