GUWAHATI: In a writ petition to the Supreme Court filed recently, the Assam Public Works, a social organization, has opposed the construction of the 2000-MW Lower Subansiri Hydro-electric Project (LSHP) on the Assam-Arunachal Pradesh border and argued that the LSHP would not only destroy the lives and properties of the people living in the downstream areas of the dam but also the ecology.
Based on the writ petition of APW, Justice S Kumar and Justice SJ Mukhopadhya of the country’s apex court have issued a notice to the NHPC Ltd and other concerned government departments to give a reply against the APW petition within two weeks.
