Big crisis looms over China’s ‘Super Dam’! Active fault line found near Brahmaputra river. China’s ‘super dam’ faces major crisis! Active fault line found near Brahmaputra River

China, which is building the world’s largest hydroelectric project on the Brahmaputra River (Yarlung Tsangpo) in Tibet, very close to the international border with India’s northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh, has suffered a major geological setback. A recent comprehensive study conducted by Chinese scientists and geologists has made the sensational revelation that a highly active fault line (geological crack) exists in the solid layer of the earth just below this giant dam under construction. After this report came out, serious question marks have been raised on all the claims of Beijing in which it had described this super dam as completely safe and helpful in preventing disasters.

Horrible revelation of Paijen Fault: Active crack since the ice age weakened the rocks.

According to a special report of the prestigious newspaper ‘South China Morning Post’ published from Hong Kong, a very shocking research paper has been published in the leading Chinese language scientific journal ‘Sedimentary Geology and Tethyan Geology’. In this study, conducted under the direct supervision of the government organization ‘China Geological Survey’, scientists have warned that the ‘Paizhen Fault’ located within the reservoir area under construction has been geologically very active since the Ice Age. Due to this continuous tectonic activity, the natural rocks of the huge mountain ranges present around the dam have internally broken down and become extremely weak, due to which the risk of collapse of the foundations of such heavy concrete structures and tunnels has increased manifold.

Mega project worth 167.8 billion dollars: China claims to provide electricity to 30 crore people

From geopolitical and economic point of view, it is considered to be Beijing’s most ambitious project. China officially launched this $167.8 billion (about US$167.8 billion) hydropower mega-project in this remote area of ​​Tibet. Chinese engineering firms claimed that once this super dam is fully functional, it will be able to generate more than 300 billion kilowatt-hours (units) of clean hydroelectric power annually, which will single-handedly meet the annual electricity needs of more than 300 million population. The dam is taking shape in the deepest and most dangerous valley of the Himalayas, where the Brahmaputra river takes a sharp ‘U-turn’ just before entering the Indian border.

Flood threat looms over India-Bangladesh: Beijing preparing water bombs in seismic zone

This geological discovery has heightened the strategic and environmental concerns of India and the low-lying coastal country Bangladesh. This entire giant project is located at the meeting point of a sensitive ‘tectonic plate’, which is counted among the most dangerous earthquake prone areas (seismic zones) in the world. Due to the continuous movement of plates beneath the Tibetan Plateau, if a high-intensity earthquake occurs here in the future, the activation of the Paijen Fault Line may lead to the dam breaking. If this happens, millions of gallons of water can engulf India’s Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and entire Bangladesh like an artificial cataclysm, turning this super dam into a time-bomb for the entire region.
