Centre deploys 250 RAF personnel to Arunachal after violent hydropower protests
The Centre has sent two Rapid Action Force companies, roughly 250 CRPF personnel, to Arunachal Pradesh following violent demonstrations. The protests target the proposed 11,200-MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project. In Pasighat, a mob set fire to an NHPC office and a police station, and more than 40 police personnel were injured. The project is viewed as a strategic response to China's mega dam, but indigenous tribes oppose it over fears of displacement and the submergence of their villages.
