Brahmaputra dam will not impact India, B’desh: China

It is learnt that India is keeping a close eye on the construction of what is said to be the world’s largest hydropower dam.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang Saturday announced the start of the construction of the dam in the lower reaches of the Brahmaputra River, locally known as Yarlung Zangbo, at Nyingchi City located close to the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the Arunachal Pradesh sector.

The project “will not have any negative impact on the downstream regions”, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a media briefing, while responding to a question on concerns in India and Bangladesh over the dam.
