Chinese Premier Li Qiang announced the start of the construction of the dam at a ground breaking ceremony in the lower reaches of the Brahmaputra River, locally known as Yarlung Zangbo, at Nyingchi City, official media reported. The ground breaking ceremony took place at the dam site of Nyingchi’s Main-ling hydropower station in Tibet Autonomous Region, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
