A state run by Greedy Politicians, Spineless
Technocrats and waste bunch of Bureaucrats.
I guess all
the sirs have raised their eye brow looking at the heading. Let me justify-
This few years,
days and months we have been seeing all kinds of Drama (it’s better to call
this way) regarding the Hydro Electric Projects (HEPS) in the state of
Arunachal Pradesh sounding from kWatts to Megawatt. The dailies are flooded
with news of forces being deployed for public hearing more than it need in the
Burning capital to keep safe its
dwellers.
More than
the Chinese claims People of Arunachal
Pradesh are now more afraid of the Power Developers. Citizens are at most told
about the benefits of the Hydro electric Powers But Why do this Sirs’ I mean
Government, Technocrats or any bureaucrat not tell us the mount of environmental destruction it is
going to cause us apart from massive influx of workers from outside,
dislocation of indigenous communities.
We already have an unwelcomed guest the Chakma and Hajongs
and to remind you sirs These communities were displaced because of coming up of
Kaptai hydropower project, which subsequently led to internal conflict
including communal riots forcing them to flee from Chittagong Hill Tracts.
I wonder how many of the people from the 2000 MW
Subansiri Lower Project have really benefitted except some few Apart from few
contractors who have made huge sums of money, most people are living in abject
poverty.
Governments have come and gone and very chief Minister have
supported this projects And what do you the think? Are the anti-dam Crusaders
against developments? I would say NO. Till now there are no crusaders against a
Minor Power projects. Thus this is a clear indication that people
do agree to the fact that the state need power to sustain itself.
Arunachal has been projected as answer to India’s Power need being
capable of generating some 50000+ MW of Power.
Before seeing their projections, see us! The indigenous people of
this land.
