Twelve
(12) hydro electric projects (1812 MW) are under operation in North Eastern
Region including Sikkim. Fifteen (15) hydro electric
projects (5231 MW) are under construction in North Eastern Region including Sikkim.
Various
groups like Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti (KMSS), All Assam
Student Union (AASU) etc. are opposing construction of Subansiri
Lower Hydroelectric Project (2000 MW) and other big dams due to the
apprehension of downstream impact of the projects in Assam. The construction
works of Subansiri Lower Project is stopped since
December 2011 due to agitation launched by these groups.
