The issue was discussed during a review meeting of Central Water Commission by Rattan Lal Kataria, minister of state in the Jal Shakti ministry.
“Regarding the alleged plan of China to set up a super hydropower station at Brahmaputra at Medong, Tibet, the officials apprised that any attempt to divert water of Brahmaputra river shall act as an encroachment on the entitled rights of lower riparian states like India, Bangladesh and adversely affect the availability of water in the Brahmaputra basin during the lean season,” a statement by the ministry said.
He was informed that during the last one and a half year, 10 out of 99 priority projects under PMKSY have been completed.
