The proposed 11,200 MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Hydropower Project on Arunachal Pradesh's Siang River faces growing opposition. The government calls it a strategic necessity against China's dams, but local tribal communities fear losing land, villages, and culture. Security deployment and arrests of protesters in October have intensified tensions. Locals demand halting surveys and prioritizing consent, citing risks to 27 villages and their livelihoods.
