China approves Brahmaputra dam in Tibet, on a scale to surpass Three Gorges Dam, with security concerns for India

The dam is to be built at a huge gorge in the Himalayan reaches where the Brahmaputra river makes a huge U-turn to flow into Arunachal Pradesh in India and then to Bangladesh.

The total investment in the dam could exceed 1 trillion yuan (USD 137 billion), which would dwarf any other single infrastructure project on the planet, including China’s own Three Gorges Dam, regarded as the largest in the world, the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported.
