Fearing ‘water war’ by China, govt puts Arunachal dams on fast track

Fearing a Chinese threat of “water wars”, India has initiated its biggest hydroelectric project of 11,000 megawatt (MW) in Upper Subansiri in Arunachal Pradesh. Responding to Chinese dams coming up close to its borders in the north-east, India is also expediting three stalled projects for possible allocation to NHPC after recommendations of an evaluation committee and in-principle approval by ministry of power.
