GUWAHATI: The AJYCP (Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuva-Chatra Parishad) is going to stage a serial protest from August 26 against the memorandum of agreement (MoA) signed recently between the Assam Government and NHPC for the implementation of Lower Subansiri Hydroelectric Project.
In a statement issued to the media, AJYCP's general secretary Palash Changmai said: "The MoA is a document for deceiving the people of Assam. The BJP was against big dams before forming governments at Dispur and New Delhi. Even their election manifesto was against mega dams. However, after forming the governments at Dispur and Delhi, they have taken a complete U-turn. Now they've signed an agreement with the NHPC for the implementation of the Subansiri lower with the help of security forces. However, we're determined to continue our protests against the mega dam. Tomorrow we're going to stage a three-hour sit-in protest statewide."
