A Union power ministry delegation has taken stock of hydel projects being implemented in Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, the three-day visit raising eyebrows as it came in wake of last Sunday’s report in a Chinese media about a “large” hydropower project coming up on the Yarlung Zangbo (which is known as the Brahmaputra in India).
There was widespread concern in both the downstream states over the reported development in China.
Multiple sources associated with the power sector in the two states told The Telegraph that the visit was long overdue and they came to know about it a week ago.
