NEW DELHI, Dec 12 – Even as the agitation against the Subansiri Hydroelectric Project gathers momentum, Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) of two hydro power projects in Assam were turned down by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) albeit on non-environmental ground.
Two Detailed Project Reports are currently under examination in CEA. However, the DPRs of 150 MW Lower Kopili and 60 MW Karbi Langpi were returned by CEA due to inadequate geological investigation and non-up grade of hydrology in case of Lower Kopili Hydroelectric Project.
