A potential ‘water bomb’ — that’s how India describes China’s massive new megadam on the Yarlung Tsangpo River.

Experts warn: the dam could disrupt agriculture, block fish migration and ignite geopolitical tensions.

Terrible footages coming out of #Sikkim of the 1200 MW #ChungthangDam being breached.
Precisely why many have warned about the #Himalayan zone not being suitable for big dams & heavy #infrastructure. But a certain model of 'development' burries such cautions, putting all at risk!
