DAYS AFTER BEIJING cleared the construction of the world's largest dam on the Brahmaputra river in Tibet close to the Indian border, raising concerns in lower riparian states India and Bangladesh, Delhi said Friday it has conveyed its concerns to the Chinese side over the mega hydel project.
India has urged China to ensure that the interests of downstream states of the Brahmaputra are "not harmed by activities in upstream areas".
Delhi has also lodged a protest with Beijing through diplomatic channels over China's establishment of two new counties in its Hotan Prefecture since parts of jurisdiction of these counties fall in the Union Territory of Ladakh, in the Aksai Chin area.
Sources said that India was not informed by the Chinese side about the construction of the Brahmaputra dam project, which is the convention between the two countries, and learnt of it from media reports – the project is to cost an estimated $137 billion.

Dr Manmohan Singh, RIP
The present generation (born after 1991) scarcely believes that there was an India with one television channel, one car, one airline, one telephone service provider, trunk calls, PCO/STD/ISD booths and long waiting lists for everything from two-wheelers to train tickets to passports. The seeds of change were sowed by Dr Singh, a fact belatedly acknowledged by Prime Minister Modi's tribute to him and the Cabinet resolution.
