Finding Solution

- Aggam Walia New Delhi, June 9

THREE YEARS AFTER the ministry of jal shakti ordered a pre-feasibility report, a decision on the final site for the proposed 11.2 gigawatt (GW) Siang Upper Multipurpose Project is learnt to be "held up due to local issues".

State-owned hydropower developer NHPC is working with stakeholders to "expedite" progress, said sources.

Proposed as India's strategic counter to China's upcoming 60 GW hydrostation less than 50 km upstream from the border, the project on the Siang river in Arunachal Pradesh is facing opposition from villagers who are likely to be displaced.
