Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju today said he is "traditionally" against construction of big dams in North East and favoured smaller ones with 300-500 MW capacities.
"Traditionally I am not for big hydro power projects in North East. I am not in favour of 4,000 MW or 5,000 MW projects. I am fine if one or two big projects come up in the region with consultations with the public," Rijiju said at the Infrastructure Conclave by industry chamber PHDCCI here.
He supported construction of smaller or mid-level projects in the range of 300 MW or 500 MW capacities in North East.
