The situation along Tuting, Yingkiong, and Pasighat in the state is grim. These places are drying up due to blockade of Brahmaputra River in China. Kindly intervene.” The Congress legislator further said that the Chinese side is paying close attention to the blockage of the Yarlung Zangbo River. “If there is further information, they must notify us in time and the government must proactively engage with them on this issue,” he added. Ering continued, “Even the situation of rivers along Tuting, Yingkiong, and Pasighat in Arunachal Pradesh is grim. Rivers in these places are drying up rapidly due to the blockade of Yarlung Zangbo in China. It will pose a big threat to the downstream dwellers and will ruin their lives forever.” Reportedly, India and China recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding under which China shares flood data about the Yarlung Tsangpo with India.
