Introspect on benefits of SUMP: Arunachal Dy CM amidst China's 60,000 MW Dam plan

Itanagar, Mar 19 (UNI) Arunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein has emphasized the strategic significance of the proposed Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) over the Siang River, urging people to engage in discussions with the government with a positive mindset.
Highlighting the potential threat posed by China’s planned 60,000 MW dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo River, Mein called for serious introspection on the Siang Upper Multipurpose Project’s benefits for Arunachal Pradesh. He underscored the need for a balanced approach that safeguards both regional interests and environmental sustainability while ensuring long-term energy security and economic growth.
The Deputy CM was addressing a gathering after inaugurating the 1894 Mirem Batum Lingkang War Memorial at Adi Pasi in Upper Siang district on Wednesday. The memorial stands as a tribute to the Adi warriors of Pasi village, who bravely defended their homeland against the British punitive expedition during the 3rd Anglo-Abor War (1893-94) through guerrilla warfare and stone barricades, leaving behind a legacy of resilience and unity.
