Hub News Ground Zero: Geku Rejects PFR and SUMP Over Ancestral Land Fears

Tensions are escalating in Geku village, Upper Siang, as local residents—led by determined women—take to the streets against the Pema Khandu government’s proposed PFR and SUMP hydroelectric dam projects. Fearing the permanent destruction of their ancestral lands and heritage, villagers are demanding an immediate halt to all government interference. The ground zero protest has intensified following the arrest of three local demonstrators, with residents demanding their unconditional release. What began as a brave localized stand in Geku has now sparked a widespread anti-dam movement expanding across Arunachal Pradesh. #ArunachalPradesh #GekuProtest #SaveAncestralLand #UpperSiang #HubNews
