The Konyak Union has refuted allegations that the recent floods in parts of Assam were caused by the release of water from the proposed Dikhu Hydro Electric Project in Nagaland’s Mon district. The clarification comes amid public concerns linking the floods to the project.
The Dikhu Hydro Electric Project is a proposed 186 MW hydropower project on the Dikhu River, a tributary of the Brahmaputra, near the confluence of the Dikhu and Yangnyu rivers across Longleng, Mon, and Mokokchung districts of Nagaland. The project aims to enhance clean energy generation and regional infrastructure.
