NGO appeals Centre against mega dam

By The Assam Tribune

ITANAGAR, Oct 5 - Opposing mega dams on Siang river in Arunachal Pradesh, an NGO today appealed to Centre not to give environmental clearance for mega dams in Siang belt comprising four districts of Siang, East Siang, Upper Siang and West Siang.

Siang People�s Forum (SPF) in a memorandum to Union Environment and Forest Minister Prakash Javadekar made it clear the people of the four districts would not compromise on its demand of scrapping all mega dams over the Siang river.

The Forum while informing that the issue of mega dam over Siang was pending with Gauhati High Court after a PIL was filed this year, urged the Minister not to give clearance to the projects recklessly against the wish of the indigenous people. � PTI
