New Delhi: Reacting to China’s plan to build a mega dam on the Brahmaputra river, India on Friday said it has urged the Chinese side to ensure that the downstream states of the river are not harmed by activities in upstream areas.
The remarks came close on the heels after reports emerged that the Chinese side is constructing a mega dam upstream of Brahmaputra on Chinese soil. The river Brahmaputra is locally known as 'Yarlung Tsangpo' in the Tibet region of China.
