Chinese action may prove disastrous for NE
Assam Tribune | R Dutta Choudhury | Guwahati, April 8 :
The war over water may turn out to be one of the worst crisis to be faced by the North East region, observed well known security analyst Major General (Retd) GD Bakshi. He also said that there is need to increase India’s defence budget to match the Chinese.
Talking to The Assam Tribune, Major Gen Bakshi, who has also authored 25 books on different issues including security related matters, said that if China decides to divert the water of the river Brahmaputra, it would have disastrous effect on the North East region of India. According to reports, China is building 28 dam projects on the Brahmaputra river and though the Chinese have been claiming that the projects are run of the river projects, the water channel would dry up during the dry season and it would be disastrous during the rainy season.
The security analyst said that there have been disturbing reports of Chinese setting up of a factory to produce AK series rifles in the Kachin area of Myanmar. If the reports are true, the militant groups of the North East and the Maoists would definitely get weapons from that factory to strengthen themselves, which would result in deterioration of the situation in the entire North East.
