Indian hydel projects scrapped at Sikkim
The Sikkim government cancelled the proposed 280 MW Teesta-I hydel power project that was bagged by NCC Limited.
"The project was cancelled for two reasons. Firstly, continuous opposition from locals on the project and secondly, environmental issues," said a senior official of the Sikkim government.
Along with Teesta-I, the state government has also cancelled three other Hydel Power Projects- the 99-MW project at Bop, the 99-MW project at Bhimkang, 99-MW project at Lachung, the official added.
The four projects were planned at Lachen and Lachung in North Sikkim on three tributaries of the Teesta and Lachen rivers.
