China's mega dam on Brahmaputra facing major natural threat: Report

Even as China races to build the world's largest hydropower project on the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet, its own government-backed geologists have warned that the mega dam sits above an active fault line capable of triggering landslides, earthquakes and structural instability.The findings have renewed concerns not only over the safety of the project itself but also over its wider implications for India, where the river flows as the Brahmaputra and sustains millions of people before entering Bangladesh.The warning comes at a time when Beijing's massive dam project has already become a geopolitical flashpoint. India has repeatedly expressed concerns over China's upstream activities on the Brahmaputra, citing potential risks to water security, ecology and downstream communities.
