Arunachal Pradesh te Siang River aru proposed Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) loi etiya juntu controversy suru hoise, itu matro ekta dam construction issue nohoi. Itu development, national security, environmental protection aru indigenous community laga existence logot directly connected ekta dangor issue hoise. India government aru Arunachal Pradesh government laga proposal hisab te, 11,200 MW capacity laga SUMP project Siang Valley te build koribole plan kori ase. Kintu local Adi community aru alag indigenous organisations itu project laga khilaf te protest kori ase. Tai khan laga main concern ase ancestral land, village, agriculture, river ecosystem aru traditional culture khotom hoi jabo pare.
Government laga main argument ase China laga upstream hydropower project. China December 2024 te Tibet laga Yarlung Tsangpo River uporot 60,000 MW capacity laga mega hydropower project approve korise. Itu river India te ahikena Siang River hoi, aru pichete Brahmaputra River laga part hoi. China upstream te dangor dam bonale downstream water flow control koribo pare, juntu India karone water security aru national security concern create korise. India laga government SUMP ke strategic project hisab te dekhi ase. Government laga hisab te, storage dam bonale sudden water release, flood aru pani laga shortage nisina situation handle koribole help pabo.
Kintu national security laga naam te local people laga concern ignore kora thik nohoi. Proposed project karone at least 27 villages submerge hobole pare, aru bishi families nijor ancestral land chari jabole majboor hobo pare. Adi community karone Siang River matro pani laga source nohoi. Itu tai khan laga culture, identity, agriculture, livelihood aru generations para chali aha tradition laga important part ase. River laga seasonal flow hisab te tai khan kheti kore, fish dhore aru natural resources use kore. Compensation diya pichete bhi purana village, ancestral land aru traditional lifestyle ghurai pua possible nohoi. Itu karone local people laga fear ke development oppose kora hisab te simple bhabe dismiss kora thik nohoi.
Environmental concern bhi bishi important ase. Siang Valley Himalaya laga ecologically sensitive aru earthquake prone region te ase. Itu region te dangor storage dam bonale earthquake, landslide, sudden flooding aru river ecosystem uporot ki effect hobo, itu scientifically detailed study kora important ase. China laga dam India karone risk create koribo pare buli India bhi same river system te aro dangor dam bonai risk barhai dibo niki, itu question seriously examine kora important ase. Development mane matro electricity production nohoi; development mane long term environmental safety aru local people laga sustainable livelihood bhi protect kora.
Etu moment te protest aru government majete trust deficit bishi dangor problem hoise. September 2026 para pre feasibility report laga survey activities loi opposition barhi ase. October 23 te Pasighat te protest violent hoise, government property aru NHPC office damage hoise, aru police aru protesters majete clashes hoise. Reports hisab te 26 protesters arrest hoise, aru four people Arunachal Pradesh Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act under te detain hoise. November 3 tak Upper Siang te security forces deployment aro barhai dise. Protest organisations koise ki detained people release kora aru security forces withdraw kora nathakile government logot discussion koribo napare.
Government koise ki etiya construction decision loha nai, aru pre feasibility study matro first step ase. Chief Minister Pema Khandu bhi public consultation aru local consent bina project agote noluja promise korise. Kintu promise matro enough nohoi. Government ke transparent information, independent environmental impact assessment, seismic risk assessment aru affected families laga genuine consultation ensure koribo lagibo. Public hearing te local people ke project laga benefits aru risks duita clearly explain koribo lagibo.
Etu issue solve koribole force, arrest aru bandh matro solution hobole napare. Protest peaceful thakibo lage, aru government bhi democratic rights respect koribo lage. Dui side majete dialogue suru hobole trust create kora first condition ase. Detained people laga issue, security deployment aru survey process uporot mutually acceptable solution bisara important ase.
Siang River India karone strategic importance thaka ekta river, kintu itu river laga bank te thaka people bhi India laga equal important citizen. National security aru local people laga security alag alag kora possible nohoi. China laga dam threat ke counter koribole India nijor people ke displacement aru environmental disaster laga risk te rakha thik nohoi. Arunachal Pradesh laga future electricity aru infrastructure development logote biodiversity, indigenous rights aru cultural heritage protect kora uporot bhi depend kore.
Last te, Siang River laga future decide koribole government, scientists aru local communities eki table te bohibo lagibo. Development local people laga consent aru environmental safety logot agote barhile he itu sustainable aru genuinely national interest laga project hobo. Siang River ke protect kora mane matro ekta river protect kora nohoi; itu Arunachal Pradesh aru Brahmaputra basin laga future protect kore.
