Rights Groups Back Arunachal Pradesh Anti-Dam Protests

Rights Groups Back Arunachal Pradesh Anti-Dam Protests

Some groups are protesting a new dam in Arunachal Pradesh because they're worried about their homes and the environment.

The government wants to build a big dam, but people who live there, the Adi people, are against it.

They worry about being forced to move and the river they see as their mother.

Rights groups are helping the Adi people and disagree with the government's decision.

The government sent security to help study the area, which made the Adi people even more upset.

The groups want the government to talk to the Adi people and stop the dam plans.

They are also concerned about the impact on the downstream and potential for flooding.
