SUMP is not just about energy; it’s about national security: Arunachal Governor

Itanagar, Jan 26 (UNI) The construction of the 11,000 MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) has become “imperative” as people of the Siang basin face serious risks due to dam construction upstream in Tibet by China, Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt General (Retd) KT Parnaik said here on the occasion of the 76th Republic Day on Sunday.
Referring to China’s plan to construct the world’s largest hydropower dam on the Yarlung Tsangpo river in Tibet and its potential risks to downstream areas, Parnaik said the Indian government has recognised the importance of SUMP by declaring it a “national project”.
“The people of the Siang basin, particularly the Adi community, face serious risks due to dam construction upstream in Tibet. The potential impact on Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, and other downstream areas is very concerning. That’s why the Siang Upper Multipurpose Project is so important. It will protect the Adi community and the entire Siang belt from these dangers.
