’Big dams essential for State’s development’ [1]

GUWAHATI: Advocating their support to the Lower Subansiri Hydro–electric Power Project (LSHEP) and the big dam issue, the North East Power News on the sidelines of their press meet on the Global Energy Conference, 2013 on “Development of Power with Peace” said that Northeast would suffer if there is obstruction of big dams in the region, considering the economic and development boon it brings.

Although the press meet was initially aimed at addressing the forthcoming global energy conference to be held on February 1, the organizers strayed from their main topic and went on to lambast the various organization in the State which opposed the big dams and the LSHEP project.
