India has recently expressed concerns to China about a dam that is being built on the Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet. This river flows into India, where it is known as the Brahmaputra. Indian officials worry that the new dam might affect the water supply for people in India and Bangladesh.
China claims that the hydropower projects in Tibet will not significantly harm the environment or change water flows. However, both India and Bangladesh remain cautious. The Yarlung Zangbo River goes through Arunachal Pradesh and Assam in India before it continues into Bangladesh. People in these countries are watching the situation closely because the river is essential for their lives and farming.
