Dams and its Affects
Many dams have sprunged-up in the world to meet the surging power/electrical needs of hi-tech cities. In Manipur, which is a small Indian state located in the Northeastern part of the country,there is also an increasing projects undertaken for the establishment of dams during the past 2-3 decades. The benefits of constructing dams goes to the corrupt politicians and officers. However, the poor people who live on the banks of the rivers are not properly rehabilitated and when the volume of water in the river rises, its the poor inhabitants are going to be submerged. One such project which is going on in the Indian state of Manipur is the Tipaimukh Dam, which will affect hundreds of Kuki and Naga tribal Christian people who live on the banks of the barak river.
The above picture shows the Khuga Dam in Manipur, submerging the nearby tribal Christian village.
