NHPC’s Poor Coordination May Be Too Costly For Locals and Environment

The danger for Batchenga’s locals and the environment is due to the fact that the NHPC is failing to properly implement part of the project, which is the sustainable fallback plan for locals who have been ushered out of the water where they fished and extracted sand for a living. Others whose lands were taken from them to create space for the giant electricity project too are still waiting to be fully compensated.
