Satellite images show that China is constructing a new dam in Tibet on a tributary of the Ganga, close to the tri-junction of its borders with India and Nepal. According to a report by Hindustan Times early Friday (January 20), this development comes in the wake of the Chinese government unveiling plans to build a super dam close to the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Tibet on the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo river. This river flows into the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh as the Siang and then to the state of Assam as the Brahmaputra.
