The National Green Tribunal has given its nod to construction of 2,880 MW Dibang Multipurpose Project (DMP) in Lower Dibang Valley district of Arunachal Pradesh. The Project is being undertaken by the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC), which is the biggest producer of hydro-electricity in India. It envisages construction of 278 mtrs high concrete gravity dam across Dibang River, for flood moderation and power generation. 115 families of 5 villages are likely to be displaced, and 744 families of 39 villages are likely to be affected due to acquisition of land required for the project. At the time of its future completion, it will be India’s largest dam and the world’s tallest concrete gravity dam, standing 288 metres (945 ft) tall.
The EC was, therefore, upheld. Before parting, the court directed that the conditions laid down in the impugned EC should be scrupulously complied with. This, it said, will be overseen by the monitoring committee through periodical field visits.
