Neeraj Singh MANHAS

#WATCH | Guwahati: On China's dam project and its impact on Assam, Advisor of Parley Policy Initiative, Neeraj Singh Manhas, says, "China had been planning a mega project for some time on Yarlung Tsangpo river. The Yarlung Tsangpo is called the Brahmaputra when it enters Assam. China may justify the hydroelectric project in terms of its push towards renewable sources of energy, but the project has ramifications for India--especially in the Northeast. In the case of India - Arunachal and Assam, what they have faced - in 2000, we saw a huge dam that leaked in the Tibetan region and led to great devastation in the North East at that point in time... It has a huge amount of natural resources which still need to be explored, and China is still continuously doing that without taking care of the needs of the Tibetan people... The Yangtze Dam, which is the largest dam in the world, has displaced the local indigenous people of Tibet. About 1.3 billion people were displaced at that point in time..." (08.04)

I will be undertaking a State Visit to Israel today and tomorrow. Our nations share a robust and multifaceted Strategic Partnership. Ties have significantly strengthened in the last few years. I will be holding talks with PM Netanyahu, in which we will discuss ways to strengthen cooperation across diverse fields. I will also meet President Isaac Herzog, President of Israel. This evening, I will be addressing the Israeli Parliament, Knesset. This is a tribute to the strong parliamentary and democratic ties that connect us. I will also interact with the Indian diaspora, who have made a big contribution in strengthening the India-Israel friendship. @netanyahu @Isaac_Herzog nm-4.com/D5ncr1
