💨 Abstract

The Congress opposes the Center's decision to rebuild the Teesta III hydel project dam, claiming it is a rash clearance as the site remains disaster-prone. The Congress general secretary, Jairam Ramesh, expressed concerns over the potential threats and cascading effects on downstream habitations. The Congress has a history of criticizing hydel projects in ecologically sensitive areas for their environmental impact and the Teesta dams being a prime example.
