Former Arunachal CM Apang Calls for Scrapping of Siang Upper Project

Former Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Gegong Apang has called for the scrapping of the Siang Upper Project and the withdrawal of the Project Feasibility Report and security forces involved in the scheme. The demand comes as Apang voices concerns over the project’s environmental impact and the displacement of local communities. The Siang Upper Project, a hydroelectric scheme on the Siang River, has faced opposition from environmental groups and residents of the upper Siang valley. The state government has yet to respond publicly to Apang’s demands.
