ITANAGAR: Buddhist monks in Arunachal Pradesh's Tawang have again strongly opposed the State government's fresh push for hydropower projects in the north-eastern border State.
The 'Save Mon Region Federation' (SMRF) — an organisation of Buddhist monks — in a statement, said that the proposed plants would not only affect the nesting grounds of the endangered black-necked crane but also threaten several holy Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the western region of the State.
