Siang Dam Project Faces Intensifying Protests in Arunachal Pradesh
Arunachal Pradesh, 25 October 2026: The proposed 11,200 MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) is facing growing opposition from Indigenous Adi communities over fears of displacement, environmental destruction and loss of ancestral lands.
On 23-24 October, a 12-hour bandh was observed across the Siang region. Clashes near Geku reportedly left four women hospitalised after police used tear gas. Violence in Pasighat also saw an NHPC office and vehicles set on fire.
Protesters are demanding a halt to project-related surveys, the release of
detained activists and protection of their ancestral territories. Reports suggest that 27 villages could be affected. While the government considers the project strategically important amid China's hydropower plans upstream in Tibet, Indigenous communities fear irreversible damage to the Siang River's ecosystem, traditional livelihoods and cultural heritage.
The future of the Siang must prioritise Indigenous rights, ecological security and meaningful community consent over unchecked development.
We are too generous to these Ching Chongs. They cry about not having development, they cry about doing development, they cry about not being protected enough from China, they cry about building infra to protect them from China...

During the protest outside Delhi Police Headquarters, ACP Manasvi Vashisht outlined three demands that he wants included in the department's SOP within one week.
His three demands:
Action Against Groups Entering Police Stations: He demanded that if more than five lawyers enter a police station and engage in alleged hooliganism, police should invoke unlawful assembly provisions and respond with action proportionate to the situation.
Immediate Bar Council Action: He demanded a dedicated cell at Police Headquarters to ensure that complaints against lawyers allegedly involved in misconduct are taken up with the Bar Council for licence cancellation on the same day.
Two Companies Of Force At Every Court: He demanded deployment of security personnel equivalent to two companies of force at every court, depending on the court's area, to protect police officers, including IOs and ACPs, from alleged physical assaults.
Vashisht insisted that these three points must be included in the SOP, while other provisions could be added separately.
His demands have added another dimension to the ongoing standoff between Delhi Police personnel and lawyers.
That how it should be.
