The first public hearing on the project at Jeying in Upper Siang district on April 17 and the second one at Rottung in East Siang district yesterday were postponed after clashes erupted between anti-dam protestors and security forces.

West Siang Deputy Commissioner Amzad Tak said that he had written for postponement of the third public hearing due to fear of breakdown of law and order in the district.

The state government had put in all efforts to conduct the hearing, including large deployment of security personnel at the three venues.
