Assam for examination for dams in Arunachal [1]

BY MANOJ ANAND

GUWAHATI, July 18: The Assam government has urged the Union power ministry to include local scientists from the states while carrying out studies on the environmental impact of mega power-generating dam projects in the northeastern states.

Speaking in the state Assembly on Friday, state power minister Pradyut Bordoloi said that there were genuine apprehensions in some districts about potential disasters posed by the large dams in neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh, especially in view of last month's events in Lakhimpur district.
