The Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) in Arunachal Pradesh is a key national security initiative along the Line of Actual Control (LAC), aimed at securing India's presence in contested border areas claimed by China as South Tibet. While it may submerge 27 Adi villages and displace 100,000 to 150,000 residents, the project supports local economies and infrastructure to maintain demographic stability and reinforce defense readiness in Pasighat, Yingkiong, and Geku.
