The GoI is looking at hydropower to keep its net zero pledge.
Arunachal Pradesh will sign 13 MoUs for such projects. While this will help tap its hydropower potential, the human + ecological costs are high.
🤔Is the push for more 🌊power projects in Arunachal justified?

Some say 🇮🇳 has to catch up.
- 🇮🇳 has developed only 29% of its total 🌊power potential. The govt says Arunachal has the highest untapped potential.
- Once dams are up and running, surplus power can be transmitted to other states and help generate revenue for Arunachal.

#China is a territorial enemy of India & it keeps trying to violate India’s sovereignty by intruding at various places along our long border. But this has a deep history. This thread series on the Great Game will tell you how.

2. Hindus today might find it hard to believe, but India has been the greatest prize of any colonial power ever, long before the British came to dominate our geography. It has to do with our geography and the civilization that was built on that geography.
3. Central Asia, its mountains and plateaus, are one of the most critical geographical areas to hold all over the world. This is the reason that Pakistan grabbed Gilgit-Baltistan and China grabbed Aksai Chin and now tries to grab more mountainous areas from India.

Both sides disengaged soon after the face-off. There are unconfirmed reports of the Indian Army capturing 10 #PLA soldiers soon after the incident and later releasing them. No official version of the same so we can choose not to focus on the same for now.

#India is another country where #SARS_CoV_2 BA.2 is rapidly replacing #Delta & #Omicron BA.1. The pace of sharing sequences by India is very slow, median days from collection to deposition is 69 days according to GISAID. Genome sequencing among the states is not always fair.🧵
In the state of #Telangana #India, #Omicron BA.1 in the most recent dates are exclusively from #Hyderabad. Except for a couple cases, BA.2 positive samples were collected outside of Hyderabad. The last sequence from this state is from Jan 6, 2022.
#Omicron BA.2 is already the likely dominant variant in the state of #UttarPradesh bordering #Nepal.

We reject such comments. #ArunachalPradesh is an integral & inalienable part of India. Indian leaders routinely travel to the State as they do to any other state of India: @MEAIndia on Chinese MFA's comments on recent visit of VP Naidu to Arunachal Pradesh
Objecting to the visit of Indian leaders to an Indian state does not stand to reason & understanding of Indian people: @MEAIndia
#China, on Wednesday, had objected to the recent visit of Vice President Venkaiah Naidu to #ArunachalPradesh, saying that it is firmly opposed to the Indian leader's visit to the state as it has never recognised it.

Orbit of around 2,000 to 35,000 km or, at times geosynchronous orbit, usually operates from beyond 35,000 km. Potential users can pre-book Starlink services in India on website for refundable amount of $99 or Rs 7,265.

Sapria himalayana - a rare root parasite in Namdapha TR, Arunachal Pradesh. Earlier, it was known only from Namdapha within India, but in recent years,it has been found in a few other sites in Arunachal.
#ArunachalPradesh #rootparasites
#ArunachalPradesh #rootparasites
Its pollination and seed dispersal systems remains unstudied - the fruiting bodies are believed to be dispersed by rodents - so many mysteries in the rainforests that we still need to find out..
I saw it in several different locations in Namdapha. Finding some patches with these startling bright flowers on the dark forest floor was always exciting.

China has built a new village in Arunachal Pradesh consisting of 101 homes as seen in the satellite images, reported #NDTV
The images from November 1, 2020 have been analysed by several experts who confirmed that the construction which is approximately 4.5 kms within the Indian territory of the facto border will be a huge concern for India.
The village is located on the banks of the River Rsari Chu which lies in the Upper Subansiri district, an area which has been long disputed between India and China, and has been marked by armed conflict. The village was constructed in the eastern range of the Himalayas.

#CDS complimented the soldiers for the innovative measures adopted to maintain effective #surveillance and enhanced #operational readiness. He exhorted All Ranks to continue working with same zeal and enthusiasm.(2/3)
#CDS said that only Indian soldiers could remain vigilant under such #challenging situations, ever willing to go well beyond the call of duty to safeguard the borders. Nothing can deter the Indian Armed Forces on remaining steadfast in their call for duty. (3/3)
