In Arunachal, land & forests are under ownership of local people while Forest Department controls meager percentage of land. Dibang Valley is ancestral homeland of Idu Mishmi tribe who will lose their traditional way of life #SaveDibangValley#DibangNotForDams@moefcc
The destruction of large swathes of the forests and influx of migrant workers will uproot traditional livelihoods, leaving the native residents unequipped for the new, specialised jobs that the project promises to offer. #SaveDibangValley#DibangNotForDams@moefcc@ArunachalCMO
Hydroelectric projects like Etalin HEP affect the aquatic lives of not only the project area but also the downstream regions. Fishes and other species die due to release of chemicals and leakages from operation houses #SaveDibangValley#DibangNotForDams@moefcc@ArunachalCMO

We could all do with a bit of good news right now, and here it is!
The Govt has responded to public pressure and announced a plan to eliminate a whole range of single-use plastics. It's not perfect or everything we need, but it's a big step towards an end to plastic pollution.
