India concerned as China approves world's largest dam in Tibet

The article discusses India's concerns over China's approval of the world's largest dam, the "super dam" on the Yarlung Tsangpo River in Tibet, near the Indian border. This dam, part of China's broader strategy to harness the Brahmaputra River's energy, could potentially alter water flow, affecting downstream countries like India and Bangladesh. The project, which aims to generate three times the power of the Three Gorges Dam, has raised fears about water security, environmental impacts, and geopolitical tensions.
