Massive Landslide Hits Northeast, Mega Power Project Affected In Assam

A massive landslide hit an under-construction dam in Arunachal Pradesh on Friday, affecting a 2,000 megawatt (MW) hydroelectric project and reducing water flow in Assam’s Subansiri river.

Chunks of the hill came crashing down about 300 metres from the dam, showed a video that has gone viral, blocking a diversion tunnel in the Subansiri river and leading to a drastic reduction in the downstream waterflow.
