WION should do research on China's similar behavior in Indochina when they took similar steps to build dams on the upper part of Mekong River (on Manwan in 1996, Dachaoshan in 2003, Jinghong in 2008 and Gongquoqiao in 2012) and trying to repeat the same strategy here in the Himalayas. It seems that China's strategy is to build something illegally and then proclaim that place as China's.

The official US report also referred to a study by the Jammu and Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS), which reported 229 killings in 107 incidents in the first six months of the year. “JKCCS also reported 32 extrajudicial killings in the first half of the year in Jammu and Kashmir.” The US report noted that Indian authorities permitted limited access to prisoners, although some family members claimed authorities denied access to relatives, particularly in restive areas, including the occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

India should interconnect all the rivers upto the tip of South India with proper drains & etc.
I think you need to look into this news research once again. 1. The river in map shows Mabja Zangbo and not Yarlung Zangbo. 2. The Yarlung Zangbo(Brahmaputra) is not a tributary of Ganga and it does not flow into Nepal but flows into Bangladesh through Assam.

We don't call it the Ghaghra. For us, it's the Karnali. Remember, India has also been robbing Nepal of almost all her waters, through very very very controversial deals over the Koshi, Gandaki and Mahakali rivers, among others. The unilaterally-built water regulatory structures like barrages, high-elevation roads, dams and embankments abutting the border or into Nepali territories have been inundating lakhs of hectares of Nepal's fertile farmlands in the southern plains. Thanks to a hegemonic attitude, India hardly has any friend in the South Asian subcontinent. My appeal to the Indian conscience (not con science): Don't be so so so so selfish.

Summary Report: China is building a 60,000 megawatt dam in the Himalayas along India's border, which could be a major threat to India's sovereignty, on a tributary of the Ganges river, which could be used to exert pressure on neighboring countries, particularly India. The dam is being built on the Yarlung Zangbo river at the strategic tri-junction of China's borders with India and Nepal and could potentially be used to cause water shortages or floods downstream. India has responded by initiating a hydroelectric project in Arunachal Pradesh and expediting other stalled projects in the region. This is not the first time China has used water resources as a tool of coercion and the dam construction is part of China's 14th Five-Year Plan.
