Title: India Raises Objections to China’s Brahmaputra Dam Plan and New Counties in Aksai Chin
Sub-Title: Concerns Over Convention Violations and Sovereignty Highlighted
Description:
India has strongly raised its concerns with China over the construction of a massive dam on the Brahmaputra River and the establishment of new administrative counties in the disputed Aksai Chin region. Sources reveal that India was not informed about the $137 billion Brahmaputra dam project, as required by the bilateral convention between the two nations, and only learned about it through media reports.
The proposed dam, located in Tibet, is seen as a potential threat to downstream water flows, which could impact millions of lives in northeastern India. The move has escalated tensions between the two nations, already at odds over territorial disputes in Ladakh.
India has also objected to China’s recent creation of new administrative counties in Aksai Chin, a region India claims as its own. These developments have further strained bilateral relations, with India urging China to adhere to international norms and bilateral agreements.
