“We stand with the people of the Siang Valley in their struggle to protect their river, their lands, their rights and the ability to determine their future. We recognise that the people who call this valley home must have the primary say in determining its future.”

In a strong show of solidarity with the indigenous Adi communities resisting the proposed 11,000 MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP) in Arunachal Pradesh, a group of 544 scientists, researchers, and concerned citizens working in the fields of nature, wildlife, society and the environment has called on the Union and state governments to immediately halt all pre-feasibility activities, withdraw additional security forces from the valley and release anti-dam protesters detained and arrested under the stringent Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

The statement, issued on November 9, 2026, comes amid growing resistance in the Siang Valley to the proposed mega-dam and reports of intensified security deployment, restrictions on people’s movement, arrests and the use of force against protesters.

The signatories, many of whom have worked in Arunachal Pradesh and the Eastern Himalayas, describe the Siang Valley as an ecologically irreplaceable landscape of immense biodiversity, cultural significance and traditional knowledge. Referring to an earlier statement by 114 scientists issued on June 9, 2025, they point out that 48 new species and 140 new distribution records have been documented in the valley in the past 15 years alone.

The statement warns that large-scale construction in an ecologically fragile and highly seismically active river system could have irreversible consequences. It emphasises that the Siang River, its forests and surrounding mountains sustain not only rich biodiversity but also the livelihoods, cultural identity and traditional knowledge systems of indigenous Adi communities.

The scientists express particular concern over the Arunachal Pradesh government’s continued efforts to push ahead with the project’s Pre-Feasibility Report (PFR) despite sustained opposition from affected communities. They condemned the militarisation of this otherwise peaceful region, restrictions on movement, arrests and detentions of local anti-dam activists, and the use of tear gas and force against protesters. They also denounce the alleged harassment and intimidation of lawyers, journalists and others standing in solidarity of the movement.

Invoking the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the signatories assert that the project must not proceed without the free, prior and informed consent of the affected indigenous communities, whose lands, livelihoods, cultural heritage and relationship with the Siang are at stake. They also stressed on the constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech, expression and peaceful assembly.

The statement calls on the Arunachal Pradesh and Union governments to stop all PFR-related activities, withdraw additional armed forces from the region, release those detained for participating in the movement, and initiate an open and meaningful dialogue with the affected communities.

The signatories affirm that the people who have protected and sustained the Siang Valley for generations must have the primary say in determining its future.

The full statement along with the list of signatories is published below:

November 9, 2026

We, a group of scientists, researchers, conservation practitioners and concerned citizens, many of whom have worked in Arunachal Pradesh and in the Eastern Himalaya, stand in unequivocal solidarity with the people of the Siang Valley in their opposition to the proposed 11,000 MW Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (SUMP).

The Siang Valley is not merely a site for a proposed mega-infrastructure project. The Siang River, its forests and the surrounding mountains sustain extraordinary biodiversity, livelihoods, traditional knowledge systems and the cultural identity of indigenous Adi communities.

A statement issued by a collective of 114 scientists on 9th of June 2025, noted that the Siang is a rich living landscape of immense ecological, cultural and biological significance. In the past 15 years alone, there have been 48 new species described, as well as 140 new distribution records from the valley.

As scientists, researchers and citizens working in the fields of nature, wildlife, society and the environment, we recognise that the Siang Valley is an ecologically irreplaceable landscape, and much of its biodiversity and ecological complexity remains poorly understood.

The irreversible consequences of largescale interventions in such a fragile, extremely seismically active and biodiverse river system demand the utmost caution.

The people of the Siang valley have nurtured and protected these landscapes and species for generations. Their knowledge, lived experiences and concerns must be central to any decisions about their future.

We are deeply concerned by the Arunachal Pradesh government’s continued push to undertake the Pre-Feasibility Report (PFR) for SUMP despite sustained opposition from affected communities. We are particularly saddened and alarmed by the deployment of large numbers of armed security personnel, restrictions on people’s movement, the arrest and detention of community members, and the use of tear gas and force against citizens.

The growing militarisation of this otherwise peaceful region is deeply disturbing and unacceptable. In a democratic country, communities have every right to question, oppose and refuse projects that they believe threaten their lands, cultures, livelihoods and futures. In keeping with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), the project must not proceed without the free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) of the affected indigenous communities, whose lands, livelihoods, cultural heritage and relationship with the Siang are at stake.

We also strongly condemn the harassment and intimidation of those supporting and documenting the events and the movement, including lawyers and journalists. Article 19 of the Constitution of India guarantees six fundamental freedoms, including the freedom of speech, expression and to assemble peacefully; the restrictions imposed by the state cannot be deemed as reasonable.

We therefore urge the Arunachal Pradesh and Union Governments to halt all PFR-related activities, withdraw the additional armed forces deployed in the region, release those detained for their participation in the movement, and engage in an open, transparent and meaningful dialogue with the affected communities, respecting their rights, agency and decisions.

Beyond ecological arguments, our work has taught us that protecting nature cannot be separated from respecting the people who have lived with, cared for and sustained these landscapes over generations.

We stand with the people of the Siang Valley in their struggle to protect their river, their lands, their rights and the ability to determine their future. We recognise that the people who call this valley home must have the primary say in determining its future.
