China has begun construction of a large hydroelectric facility in Tibet. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
The Indian government is concerned because this project may reduce the water flow of the Brahmaputra River, which flows into India. A decrease in Brahmaputra's water could negatively affect water distribution in the region.
In response, the Indian government has planned to build a large hydroelectric facility within its territory. Experts emphasize that this project will help reduce water shortages.
However, thousands of local residents are opposing the construction, fearing the loss of their lands. Their concerns could lead to social and economic problems.
The Chinese government insists that the facility under construction will not harm downstream countries. Although Beijing has stated that it is in dialogue with India and Bangladesh, New Delhi considers the project dangerous.
This situation is causing conflicts between the two countries over water resource management. Despite the opposition, the Indian government has started construction work under police protection.
At the same time, compensation and social programs are being developed for the local population. Experts warn that the construction of large dams by both countries could pose significant risks not only to water distribution but also in areas prone to earthquakes.
This situation is considered a serious issue for regional security and environmental sustainability.
