Arunachal's Upper Subansiri Project Recommended for Green Clearance

The Upper Subansiri project in Arunachal Pradesh has secured a recommendation for green clearance from the expert appraisal panel. The project entails extensive forest diversion in the region.

Official evaluations note that the execution of the project puts an estimated 1.35 lakh trees at risk of clearing, bringing focus to the environmental tradeoffs associated with major hydro infrastructure in the Northeast.
