YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

China has begun building a 60,000 megawatt hydropower complex at Medog in Tibet on the Yarlung Tsangpo river. New Delhi fears sharp dry-season reductions in flow and has accelerated its own Upper Siang storage project as a buffer, while Beijing says its design will not alter downstream water. Beyond the politics, the stakes are everyday livelihoods across Assam and Bangladesh where farming, fishing, and river trade depend on stable seasonal flows. Neeraj Singh Manhas speaks to DW's Daniel Winter about India's concerns.
