What's behind this

The Adi community is protesting the Siang Upper Multipurpose Project in Arunachal Pradesh, saying it threatens their land, livelihoods and civilisation, and the agitation has turned violent after increasing use of force by state authorities. Engineer‑turned‑activist Katon Moyong has rejected the government’s national‑security argument for building the dam on the Siang river, calling it an attempt to overcome public resistance.
