India’s Ministry of External Affairs is closely monitoring China’s construction of a mega dam on the Brahmaputra River, which poses significant risks to water security, ecology, and livelihoods in northern India and Bangladesh. This hydropower project, claimed by China to contribute to renewable energy, raises alarms about potential flooding, biodiversity loss, and geopolitical leverage over water flows. India has repeatedly called for transparency, meaningful consultations, and the resumption of hydrological data sharing with China to mitigate risks associated with this crucial transboundary resource. As the dam’s implications extend beyond environmental concerns to regional stability, India’s vigilance underscores its commitment to safeguarding downstream interests and promoting cooperative water management.
