Guwahati, Oct 24: Expressing concern over China's reported plan to construct
a dam on river Brahmaputra in that country to divert 200 billion cubic metre
of water, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today urged Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh to take up the issue with Beijing.

Damming and diversion of such huge quantity of water would hit the state's
economy, he said in a statement adding the government would soon constitute
an experts committee to study the matter.

The Brahmaputra-Barak-Meghna river system contributes almost one-third of
the total surface water resource of the country and any large-scale
diversion of this water will have serious repercussions on the interests of
the N E region and the country as a whole, he said.

He sought the Prime Minister's intervention to safeguard the interests of
the people of the state as well as the entire country.

China is reportedly planning to diver the water to feed its Yellow River.
